The markings for the Blenheims would be circ 1940/41 and the Bf's attacking would not have been" kanon boots" as that was a tactic adopted towards the US daylight attacks from 43 onwards! Nevertheless, not a bad piece of work, keep going!
My Father flew Blenheims, out of Great Massingham, UK; Luqa, Malta; Colombo, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), This video would have given him nightmares, what little he did speak of the Blenheims, a tight formation was the only safety. The attrition rate was horrific.
Your Father is a legend to go through this and make home also nobody can thank them men enough for the dangers they encountered in the skies especially without escorts at the time. the losses were devastating and they deserved a much higher honor than what they got in my opinion.

@@jib1013 I'm quite sure he would have appreciated your recognition, thank you.
Unfortunately, a realistic scenario for the Blenheims and their crews
Yeah when i watched the replay i was in shock with how hard those cannon shells really hit.
The raid on Wilhelmshaven in 1939 was very costly for the RAF.
@@sillyone52062 For sure it's truly amazing that the blenheim's survived as long as they did
