Blenheim Mk.IVs of No.21 Sqn attacking a enemy merchant ship off the Frisian Islands, 16th June, 1941. The attacks were carried out at a height of 50 ft. The aircraft pictured here struck the mast of the ship it was attacking and cartwheeled into the sea.

Yep. The stricken aircraft is actually pointing at the camera though it's cartwheeling away from it. A truly violent scene. Pilot Sergeant E. Lever and his two crew, Sgt. I Overheu and Sgt. J. Phelps perished.
