Re: Blenheim L9325

Research has moved on since that thread. I currently have this loss listed so:

18 Squadron, Watton Reconnaissance

Blenheim IV L9325. Failed to return from sortie of the Douai – Arras – Amiens - Abbeville sector 2.00 p.m. Crashed and burned out near Priez Farm, Combles. P/O C. Light, Sgt A.E. Craig, and Sgt G. Hawkins all missing. Aircraft lost.
The remains of this crew were buried as three ‘Unknowns’ at nearby Rancourt Cemetery and never formally identified. They therefore remain officially ‘Missing’ and are commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial.
