30 June 1940
Hi guys
2 Group Blenheims carried out morning and afternoon raids on 30 June, each escorted by Hurricanes. Both raids were intercepted and a number of aircraft were claimed and lost. Can anyone clarify, please? I have: Morning: Blenheims escorted by Hurricanes of 111 and 615 Squadrons engaged by I/JG20; three Blenheims lost and three Bf109s claimed probably destroyed. Afternoon: Blenheims escorted by Hurricanes of 56 and 151 Squadrons engaged by III/JG3 and I/LG2. Hurricanes claimed 5 Bf109s and 2 probables for one Hurricane (pilot rescued). At least 4 Hurricanes and 2 Blenheims claimed. Any help appreciated please. Cheers & Happy New Year Brian |
