Blenheim Claim 24/04/40 - Stavanger

On 24/04/40 107 Squadron RAF sent six Blenheims to bomb Stavanger airfield. They were intercepted by fighters and one, L8750, failed to return. A claim for a Blenheim was made by a pilot of I./ZG 76 in the vicinity of Stavanger on this date although I do not know the time, but nowhere can I find the name of this man nor his ultimate fate. Can anyone help with this information please?

Thank you in advance.

The only claim I have for I/ZG 76 on this date was by Hptm Reinecke of Stab I/ZG 76 at 0805 hrs and for a Hudson west of Bergen

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your response and please accept my apologies for my late reply. It seems nobody knows any more about this loss and I shall have to put it in the "No Details Found" pile.

All the best.
