Blenheim R3817 59 Squadron lost 16/6/40

Hi guys

I have just read that the above was shot down by a Spitfire on 16/6/40, with the loss of Plt Off Clive Wylie and crew (buried at Dreux)

I have no record of this incident, which does not appear in Blue on Blue!

Any help appreciated.

Cheers
Brian

Hi Brian,
are you sure on the date ? I can't see any RAF claims or losses on this date
but 54 Squadron made claims against Ju.88's on the 17th June which are difficult to tie against any Luftwaffe losses !

Cheers

A mix-up with the Ju 88 claimed by "Jumbo" Grassick on 16.05.1940 ?
