Blenheim loss 23rd August 1940
Gents,
Are there any German fighter claims for a Bristol Blenheim on Friday 23rd August 1940. On this date 218 squadron suffered its firsts operational loss on the Blenheim, two crews were briefed to attack Bruges and Ypenburg aerodromes. First airborne was Squadron Leader Charles House "A" Flight Commander at 11.35hrs in T.1990 his intended target was Bruges aerodrome. This crew never returned. Details on this loss are uncertain, research has shown that the crew were shot down near Guines, 10 miles south east of Calais, can anyone add to this please. TIA Steve
