Blenheim losses 09.07.41

[fireship]

Hi Hugh,
thanks for the info.
I don't know the facts, but
i have the follow information from
Orsprey Aircraft of the Aces Nr. 34.
Sergente Maggiore Aldo Buvoli 378 Squadriglia
155°Gruppo Autonomo took-off alone on the evining
of 9 July 1941 to patrol over Tripoli harbour, and
duly intercepted seven Blenheims sent to attack
shipping in the area. Diving in his G50bis on the
bombers as they performed a low-level attack on the port,
he chased the formation out to sea, firing at each one of
them in sequence. Buvoli was subsequently credited with
four kills, 110 Sqn reporting the loss of a similar number
of Blenheims IVs on its very first mission since arriving
in Malta from UK in early July.
Hope this helps.

Regards
