Friendly attack on Blenheim

Hi,

Just been reading 'Winged Bomb, A History of 39 Squadron' by Ken Delve. In it he mentions that on 8 August 1940 a formation of 39 Sqn Blenheims was attacked in error by a couple of 94 Sqn Gladiators.

One of the Blenheims was damaged before the Gladiators realised their mistake.

Would anyone know the names of these pilots?

Alex
