Re: 30 June 1940
Hi Chris
You will be aware that Tony Wood's has listed:
30.06.40 Ofw. Erwin Clausen 3./JG 77 Blenheim - 12.43
30.06.40 Ltn. Hans Kolbow 3./JG 20 Blenheim - 12.50
30.06.40 Ltn. Karl-Heinz Schnell 3./JG 20 Blenheim - 12.50
30.06.40 Ltn. Herbert Ihlefeld Stab I./LG 2 Blenheim - 15.25
30.06.40 Ltn. Herbert Ihlefeld Stab I./LG 2 Spitfire - 15.30 30.06.40 Uffz. Otto Weßling 9./JG 3 Spitfire - 15.45
30.06.40 Uffz. Theodor Kröll 3./JG 20 Spitfire - 15.45
30.06.40 Ltn. Hans Kolbow 3./JG 20 Spitfire - 15.45
The three 107 Blenheims were lost during the first raid, since 110 was involved in the second raid, and only one Hurricane was lost (151 Sqn).
Re the Do17/Blenheim combat - I wasn't aware that 235 was involved. Any damage?
PS: I've just had a peek at Andy Bird's book - confusing anomoly: you state that 2/235 (B=Flood & T=Carr) combated a Do17 and claimed it damaged on 30 June, BUT in the narative Andy implies this combat occurred on 1 July!
Cheers & all the best for the New Year
Brian
