Re: Blenheim 1 PRU photographs sold Ebay recently - identity
Hello,
An "Oldie", but a "Goodie"
A three-quarter rear shot of this LY-coded Blenheim (the wreck was still burning!), appeared in:
Squadron Codes 1937-56
Bowyer,Michael J F & John D R Rawlings.
Cambridge:P.S.L.,1979
p.70
The photo was accompanied by the following caption:
A few Blenheim IVs were used by 1 PRU, Benson. This machine came down near Breskens and was photographed there on April 14, 1941. (Source: G.J.Zwanenburg)
I think the photo had appeared even earlier than 1979 in Airfix Magazine.
No serial is visible in Zwanenburg's photograph.
Col.
