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
