Re: Blenheim Losses 30 Jun 40
Alex: Trouble is things don't match according to Foreman. According to the 107 Sqn survivor I contacted, it was afternoon when they were got and the gaps between the Blenheim claims is a puzzle hence my query

Re: Blenheim Losses 30 Jun 40
The fourth is probably 110 Sqn that sent six aircraft to Vignacourt. Over Le Touquet they were attacked by three or four Me109s. No losses and claimed one damaged - it disappeared with smoke coming from engine. Take off 13:05, landed 15:30. Appears to be no damage on either side
The 107 Sqn raid was 10:06 to 12:24 hrs and matches the earlier German claims. There was a 1 hour difference between UK and Continental time on this date Martin

Re: Blenheim Losses 30 Jun 40
Thanks Martin. Ihlefeld was damaged and crash-landed so it looks as if he was got by 110 Sqn and his claim was optimistic. With the hour difference, this adds further credence
