Re: Lost Blenheim-9/8/41?
Hello Steve,
For 09/08/1941: Blenheim IV , Z6178 EE-?, 404 (RCAF) Squadron. Training mission. Sgt R.K. McKay - safe Took off from Skitten for single engine circuit and landing practice. Bounced on landing and engine cut caused the Blenheim to swing begfore the u/c collapsed. the aircraft was considered to have been damaged beyond repair. Source: Ross McNeill, RAF Combat Command Losses, Vol 1 Clearly not the plane you're looking for, but it's the only Blenheim Coastal Command lost on this day. On the 10th it lost two Hudsons; one was lost by flak from German 6th Minesweeper Flottilla, north of Borkum; the other was lost on a training mission, west of Dunino, Fife (Scotland). Regards, Bart |
