The first British aircraft to shoot down a German aircraft was indeed a Blackburn Skua, its victim a Do 18
The Blackburn Skua was also the dive-bomber which sank the first warship by dive-bomber attack ,the German light cruiser, Konigsberg. On the 10 April 1940 during the invasion of Norway [img]smile.gif[/img]
