History | Operations and losses | Sources | Links | Books | Questions and/or remarks



Disbanded in 1919, No 107 re-formed at Upavon in 1936 - again as a bomber unit - and at first flew Hawker Hinds. Blenheims came next and on 4th September 1939, the squadron contributed four of these aircraft to the RAF's first air attack of World War 2 - the raid on the German warships near Wilhelmshaven. Only one of No 107's aircraft returned from this operation - and with its bomb load intact.1, 2.

Throughout the remainder of '39 and into 1940 the unit, together with 110 Squadron, made many attacks by day and night on a variety of targets, including U-Boats. Led by Wing Commander Basil Embry, one U-Boat was sunk before he was downed in action on 27 May, his story of evading the Germans and reaching Gibraltar recounted in his biography Mission Completed.

No 107 Squadron, flying Blenheims, then Bostons and, finally, Mosquitos, subsequently took part in scores of raids, including such other notable ones as the mass low-level daylight raid on the Knapsack and Quadrath power stations near Cologne, on 12th August 1941; the great combined raid on Dieppe on 19th August 1942 (its task on this occasion was to bomb hostile shore batteries and thus reduce enemy opposition to the landing force); and the low-level daylight raid on the Philips radio and valve factory at Eindhoven on 6th December 1942. For a brief spell in 1941/42 the squadron operated from Malta, whilst in the closing stages of the European war (from November 1944, onwards) it operated from the Continent.

1. Nine days after this operation, Wing Commander BE Embry took command of No 107 Squadron. He won the DSO for operations in Waziristan in 1938 and won two bars to the decoration while with No 107. He was shot down behind enemy lines in May 1940, and although wounded, managed to get back to this country after a series of adventures which had all the elements of good schoolboy fiction.

2. 4th September 1939 : 5 Blenheims of No. 107 Sqdn. despatched at 1600 hrs to attack German warships reportedly in Schillig Roads near Wilhelmshaven. Four of them were not heard from again and the other failed to locate the enemy & brought its bombs back. Exact fate of the 4 missing aircraft is not known, but it appeared that the crew of at least one Blenheim attacked the enemy so closely that the blast of their bombs when they exploded on the warship destroyed their aircraft.

The first British Prisoner Of World War 2 was Sergeant George Booth, an RAF observer with 107 Squadron. He was captured when his Bristol Blenheim was shot down over the German coast on September 4, 1939

12/05/1940: Maastricht, NL

In the early morning nine Blenheims of No 139 Squadron - based in France - patrolled over the northeast of Belgium and attacked German troops moving into Belgium coming from the direction of the Maastricht bridges. The planes approached from medium altitude, in order to evade the German light FLAK that had been brought-in in large numbers by then. Nevertheless the mission ended in disaster. Whilst roaming over the target-zone and selecting their targets, German fighters dove down on the bombers and no less than seven were picked from the sky.

At 0900 no less than two complete Blenheim Mk.IV squadrons [107 Sqdn. and ?] from Bomber Command attacked the bridges at Maastricht. It was again a bloody confrontation. Of the 24 planes no less than ten were downed. Simultaneously five Fairey Battles Mk.I light bombers of 12 Squadron attacked the nearby bridge at Vroenhoven. All five planes were shot down. Aerial photographs taken during the Blenheim mission showed that all 96 bombs had missed their targets.

Hurricanes of 87 Squadron escorted the bombers. They battled with Me109's of Stab/JG27. Two Hurricanes were shot down by Adolf Galland.

The last Allied endeavour of the day was performed by the French. During a strafing and bombing mission of German troops just west of Maastricht by eighteen Brequet-693 bombers eight planes were lost by FLAK and Luftwaffe doing.
