Re: Loss of Blenheim Z5734
Hello Brian,
Air Britain's W1000-Z9999 has only Z5734 236/272 Stalled off turn on Convoy Escort and dived into sea North Channel 24.11.40. No mention of any engagement. However RAF Coastal Command Losses vol 1 by Ross McNeill does have - 24th November 1940 272 Sqn Blenheim IV Z5734 "XK-D" Base: Aldergrove T/o Time: 16.20 Crew- P/O B.H.Herrick 42003 Sgt. P.R.Smith 581477 Sgt. J.G.Hair 970690 All crew Killed. Found the wrong Convoy and was involved in a dogfight with a Fairey Fulmar. Eye witnesses on HMS Vesper reported that the Blenheim stalled off a turn and dived into the North Channel. P/O. Herrick , a New Zealander from Hawke's Bay, and his crew are commemorated on the Runnymede memorial. Alex
