G-AFXG Bristol 149 Blenheim c/n 9398 P4916 Reg date 4.8.39;
G-AFXH Bristol 149 Blenheim c/n 9403 P4921 Reg date 4.8.39;
G-AFXI Bristol 149 Blenheim c/n 9404 P4922 Reg date 4.8.39;

G-AFXO Bristol 149 Blenheim c/n 9429 P6904 Reg date 4.8.39

Warners Blenheim Book, Air Britain Serials and G-INFO have the same tie ups

Flown direct to Greece from 13/10/1939 and served with 32 Mira at Larissa

Warners says Greece reieved another 6 later

Chapter 23 and 24 of Warners book has some details and dates on losses - But no serial numbers I am afraid and when he mentions yje 6 Mk 1's he has the same serials as you: L6658;L6670;L8384;L8385.
