Photos 9 & 10 show Blenheim Z6103 QY-K of 254 Squadron which was forced-landed at Morgat on the French coast. Pierre Babin has done a lot of work on this aircraft and I think he may have written an article about it in a French magazine.

Hello Martin,


In fact I related the story of this aircraft in my book about the Wekusta 2 "La Wekusta 2 au combat, 1940-1944" (pages 69-71). And the "connexion" of this RAF N°254 Sqdn aircraft, is that after its emergency landing on a Morgat beach, it was it was taken in hand by the mechanics and pilots of the Wekusta 2.
