Re: German claim for a Blenheim August 23rd 1940.
Hi,

The Air81 File states that the Blenheim, flown by S/Ldr Charles House, A Flight Commander, 218 Squadron records that the Blenheim was attacked by 'Messerschmitt fighters' . An eye witness also reported three 'Messerschmitt fighters were involved'. The survivor did not report any claim for a fighter. Flak was encountered, but both seem sure it was a fighter that brought the Blenheim down.

Was any Bf110 units in the area ?

Steve
