The story
4 Blenheims off Belgium and Holland. 1 aircraft attacked a tanker heavily defended by Flak ships. 6 further Blenheims to attack the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, now reported off Brest after their raid on shipping in the Atlantic; the Blenheims returned because of lack of cloud cover. No losses on this day.
