Attack on Brest

Does anybody know which bomber units were in the vacinity of Brest on 9 August 1940? At about 2pm in the afternoon a stick of bombs were dropped at the seaplane harbour which damaged a Do 26. The German report claims the aircraft as a Bristol Blenheim. Any help in tracking down the culprit would be much appreciated

TIA

Adam

Re: Attack on Brest

It was a single Blenheim from 2 Gp. The crew reported dropping a stick onto the seaplanes and hangars
