Blenheim loss, 101 Squadron, 12/06/1940
 

Who can tell more about this plane, its serial number?
It's likely to have crashed on a training mission - what could explain why the crew existed of two men. But maybe the third man survived.

Thanks, Robert!

This book, 'The Bristol Blenheim', does it contain information about all lost Blenheims?
