Re: Need ID of this downed Hampden in France 1940

Just a quick thought as its late.

The Hampden in the photo appears to have black up the sides of the fuselage and in a straight demarcation line. This says to me that it was taken on or after October / November 1940 and if the kids in shorts and the trees suggest the spring then spring 1941 could be a good starting point.

Who else thought that the serial had L .4 - or was it just me!

BTW in view of the fact that 408 RCAF used a waivy demarcation line in the upper and lower colours I think this Hampden was from a RAF Sqn
