Re: 53 Sqd Blenheim T2035 - Crashed Dover 25/8/40
Hi JackoGZ
According to Ross McNeill's excellent 'RAF Coastal Command Losses' Volume 1 (Midland Publishing), T2035/PZ-F did indeed crash into buildings in Dover but on the evening of 24 August (take-off time from Detling 2059, so could have been early on 25th). F/Off SC Rochford, Sgts W. Briggs and D. Brook all killed. Returning from attack on Channel ports. There is also a history of 53 Squadron published by Air-Britain.
Hope this helps
Brian
