ID of Blenheim PZ*Z Abandoned in France
 
Hello,

I'm trying to archive for a data base two photos of Blenheim PZ*Z, possibly with the last three serial numbers ??332, that was apparently abandoned and burned out at an Allied airfield in France during May or June 1940. Can anyone ID the Squadron, full serial number and any possible location for this wreck? For some reason PZ isn't listed on my reference for RAF SQ codes.

Thanx

According to Graham Warner, The Bristol Blenheim...

on 10 may 1940 L9332 (P/O Massey) of 53 Squadron from Poix was damaged by light Flak and was abandoned after they landed to report at the advanced airfield at Vitry. (p.190)
