Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Ed,
your 11 December selection was an amazing mix of interesting aircraft. Many thanks. #1 was Battle P2200 'GB-K' of 105 Squadron, lost 10 May 1940. Your 13 Dec. #2 is Spitfire P9374 'J' of 92 Squadron, lost on 24 May 1940 near Calais with P/O P.F. Cazenove a POW. #3 is a really great find. A Blenheim Mk. I with the 'KQ' code of 55 Squadron. They used the Mk. I only until December 1940 apparently and did not operate in Greece. Their base from June 1940 until January 1941 was Fuka Main in Egypt. The best candidates seem to be; L8397, 31 August 1940 L1538, 18 October 1940 and possibly L8530 on 12 October 1940. All crashed at or near Fuka. It would be great if someone can positively identify this Blenheim. Regards, Martin Gleeson. |

Could be an ex-55 Sqnd aircraft allocated to another unit operating in Greece. I have an 2017 ebay pic of the forward part of a Blenheim Mk I 'MERCURY' with dust filters under the engines, and in the background there is an engineless PZL 24 coded Δ122. |

Martin, You're very welcome. Thanks to you and others here, I've learned a great deal. I do enjoy adding to the historical record. Regards, Ed West |
Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Hello 'udf 00',
I think you are right ! I have just found that photo you mention with the PZL 24, so it must be in Greece. I am not sure if this narrows or widens our search ! However, it certainly helps. Regards, Martin. |
