Guernsey 14/15.7.40

[robert]

Hi,

in the night of 14/15.7.40 a landing attempt was made on Guernsey. The Germans found at 05.00 a.m. a number of equipment items and weapons. I`m trying to identify RAF (Coastal Command?) squadrons that were supporting this operation. At 03.27 hrs German 4./Flak 36 aimed at an aircraft that had been identified as Blenheim.

Regards

Robert
