#3 ah, the famous twin-engined Battle  . That's 53 Sqn Blenheim L9332/PZ-Z I think, abandoned at Vitry.
#4 is a Greek Bloch MB151, sigma 173, abandoned at Larissa! |
Hi Andy
#1 With regard to R3602 I am not saying you are wrong, but I have a photo of another 53 Sq Blenheim also coded PZ-N but on its belly (this one here has clearly landed with its wheels down)
Checking Cornwell's BofF then and now, he also has a photo of a PZ-N on its belly on 6 June 1940 and claims this is R3602.
#2 Another one with a bit of a problem. Jim Halley claimed L9332 to have been lost 13 May 1940 to Flak and crashing at Vitry.
Unfortunately it seems Cornwell does not agree and claims this was L4861 which he says was repaired and finally lost 18 May (the latter date also fits with Halley).
Does anyone straight away have the "correct" date for L9332?
#3 Indeed, but surely it is a Delta and not Sigma?
Cheers
