Laut dieser Seite    https://www.naval-history.net/xDKWW2-4007-20JUL02.htm:
Thursday, 25th July:

Destroyers BOREAS and BRILLIANT of the 1st Destroyer Flotilla were sent out from Dover with MTB.69 and MTB.70 to repulse the German motor torpedo boats then attacking convoy CW.8. Pursuing the S-boats away from the convoy and towards Calais, the destroyers were attacked by German bombers. Ju87s from I/STG.1 and IV/LG.1 badly damaged BOREAS with two hits on her bridge. S/Lt O. J. Pemberton RNVR and sixteen ratings were killed and another five died of wounds. Temporary Surgeon Lt J. F. Buchan RNVR, Midshipman R. B. Mann RNR, 22 ratings, and a NAAFI staff member were wounded. They also badly damaged BRILLIANT with two bomb hits in the stern, although neither bombs exploded until they had passed completely through the ship. The tiller flat was flooded and boiler room fan support cracked. There were no casualties. Norwegian motor torpedo boats MTB.5 and MTB.6 from Dover also assisted the destroyers.
