Hi Bertrand and all,

is there more info about the machine P2644 from Marseille? Is there any photo or info in chronicle of some unit? I have a theory, that this machine is from 8.6.1940 and crashed somewhere in north-west France and pilot escape via south France and Marseille.

Hi all,

based on more photo, this is probably the same plane maybe a 1 year later or damaged during recovery:

Blenheim TR-X photos, May 1940.

These were discussed during February (posts 457-466) and March (476). It now seems certain that the hitherto unidentified TR-X is L4859 of 59 Squadron. This was forced landed on 15 May 1940 due to enemy action near Gembes in southern Belgium.
Thanks to colleagues posting photos and enhancing them I can just barely read parts of the serial in two photos; 'L4...' and '...59'. The location 'Gembes' and month are written on the back of at least one photo.
I stated back in February I hoped to see the AIR 81/2824 casualty file for this loss and have now done so. The serial is not mentioned but the wireless operator/air gunner in his 1945 POW questionnaire recorded the aircraft was 'X' and the location a village two miles from Gembes. Also that the aircraft was forced landed and did not crash. Unusually there is a second AIR 81 file for this loss which I have not seen yet.
I am delighted that TR-x has been identified at last and thankful to all who helped.

Regards,

Martin Gleeson.
