Thanks gents.
Is there any evidence that T2282 ever flew in Luftwaffe hands?

Hello Andy,
This Blenheim was discussed before on the old LEMB website.
Conclusion being -
Quote -
"Bristol Blenheim MK IV - England YH-F T2282 - This a/c was lost on 10/11Feb.1941 and its crew taken prisoner, it is seen with balkenkreuze, however the RAF code has been retained.".

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
 

Yep, thanks, happy with it wearing Luftwaffe marks with its old code, so YH+F.
But my question is still, did it ever fly with the Luftwaffe?
