Re: 02.08.1941 - Blenheim lost in action against H 855
The only Coastal Command loss on 2 Aug 41 was a 22 Sqn Beaufort off Vlissingen. However, an 82 Sqn Blenheim was shot down off Den Helder and the bodies of all 3 were recovered eventually

Re: 02.08.1941 - Blenheim lost in action against H 855
82 Sqn ORB records, "Five aircraft were ordered to attack shipping on Beat 9 with two aircraft of 114 Sqn. One enemy patrol vessel of approx: 1000 tons was sighted and attacked 10 miles SW of Den Helder. Aircraft R scored a direct hit amidships and the vessel was left burning. Aircraft M was seen to crash into the sea after making its attack."
V6026 M W/C K.O. Burt, Sgt W.T. Ellis and F/S A.D.W. Curr killed. Perversely R is not listed in the left hand column. The other four a/c returned safely The 114 Sqn ORB lists three aircraft on Beat 9 but says none of them saw anything Regards Martin
