L1148 Blenheim I 57 Squadron 16/11/1939

Hi !

On 16/11/1939 Blenheim L L1148 DX-H of 57 Squadron had to make an emergency landing on the road from Gent to Kortrijk, at Sint-Baafs-Vijve, due to severe icing. The crew was interned.
What happened with this plane after this forced landing ? Is it possible that it was transported to Wevelgem airfield (distance from Sint-Baafs-Vijve approx 28 km) and stored in an hangar ?

See photograph at

taken at Wevelgem airfield during June 1940.

Is the aircraft at the left Blenheim L1148 ?


Many thanks in advance,


Luc
