| A bit more info on the loss of Blenheim N6199.
In his book ' The Right of the Line', John Terraine reports that N6199 crashed on the training cruiser Emden killing nine of her crew and wounding several more.

On weald of Kent I watched once more
Again I heard that grumbling roar
Of fighter planes; yet none were near
And all around the sky was clear
Borne on the wind a whisper came
'Though men grow old, they stay the same'
And then I knew, unseen to eye
The ageless Few were sweeping by
