Re: info blenheim 114sqn on ebay

Joel,

Thank you very much for posting these two new photos of Blenheim 'RT-L'. You have solved a little mystery ! There are many photos of this 'RT-L' but this is the first where the serial number is visible, and a surprising one too.
I believe N6146 'RT-L' was abandoned by 114 Squadron at Crecy airfield c.19/20th May 1940. Several photos show it captured almost intact, at least one with the caption "bei Crecy". It appears to have been roughly pulled from its original location to the edge of the wood - as shown in the new photos.

I think the 82 Squadron entry in the Air-Britain serial register 'L1000-N9999' - presumably from the Form 78 Aircraft History Card - is an error. However it would not be the only one.

Regards,

Martin.
