R.A.F Blenheim fuel supplies in North Africa.
Several of these attacks took place during the first week of fighting in Libya and were directed against emery fuel supplies. These raids are playing a large part in the Libyan offensive, not only by destruction of stores and patrol, but by causing the emery to detach its fighters in order to protect its communications in the backward areas.
Blenheims were despatched to attack petrol lorries and motor transport on the road between Homs and Misurata.
Direct hits were obtained on petrol tanker and trailer which left in flames and other vehicles were also attacked.
Emery aircraft tried unsuccessfully to intercept the raider aircraft which attacked at nought feet.
An emery gun post was silenced.
