RAF bomber loss night 26/27 June 1940?
Hi guys
Can anyone advise if a RAF bomber was lost on the night of 26/27 June 1940 in the Channel off Brighton? A pilot of 601 Squadron claimed a Heinkel 111 on this night and reported "I saw the Heinkel lying on the water. A column of smoke was blowing from his rear section. I circled twice but there was no movement." Apparently no Heinkel or other German bomber was lost on this night off the south coast, so was it an RAF machine shot down in error? Cheers Brian

From Chorley's book, it does not seem likely. 2 Blenheims were "lost without trace around that time; one on 26th Jun and one on the 27th. All other losses seem accountable, and not in the area concerned.
