He115 shot down by CC Blenheim 27 June 1940?
Hi guys In case it was overlooked in my earlier post, can anyone add to the following: On 27 June 1940, a Blenheim attacked a He115 off the Dutch coast and fired "1,000 rounds" before breaking away. Can we identify this aircraft? Was it shot down/damaged? A Bf109 was also claimed shot down by the same CC Blenheim Any ideas, please? Cheers Brian

T&E of 235 Sqn claim to have damaged one of four 109s that attacked them in CPOX2056 & T claimed to have damaged a 115 in CPOX5840. Nothing was claimed shot down or destroyed by the 2 survivors of the 6 sent out by 235. I have written about this day having contacted the only survivors from 82 & 235.

OK, Chris
But what was the the identity of the He115 and was it damaged? I have seen a photo on a website of He115 ND+YL apparently damaged on this date! Any connection? Cheers Brian

The only information I have found is in the KTB of Seenotzentrale (Luft) Nord from 16.06.1940 - 30.06.1940. For 27.06.1940 at 13:45 it says: "On the south coast a Heinkel aircraft was attacked by a Blenheim and damaged. Rear gunner in the German aircraft was probably killed."
However, no damaged aircraft is reported in the usual sources, nor a killed rear gunner.
