Air Attack on Cambrai 14 Nov 40

Just as II./KG 2 was about to take off to attack Coventry on this night, the airfield was attacked and take off delayed. Can anyone help identify who might the attacker have been?

Re: Air Attack on Cambrai 14 Nov 40

110 Sqn sent four Blenheims to Cambrai, one of which claimed to have bombed (2 Grp ORB). The other three bombed elsewhere. However cannot tell from Sqn ORB which of the four it was.

Usual caveats about navigation during this period
