Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Schnautzer posted a message in a Blenheim thread which might fit better here:

"Bristol Blenheim L6670 UQ-R Abschuss Afrikakorpspictures of crashed pplane now on ebay https://www.ebay.de/itm/134148279203...8AAOSw~~Riqw94 "

Despite the stamping on the photo, I don't think this can be L6670. This did indeed serve in Greece with 211 Sqn, as per:
http://www.211squadron.org/bristol_blenheim_i.html
but that site records that it made a wheels up landing on 15 Dec 40 and did not fly with the sqn operationally again. The relevant Air-Britain serials book says it was passed to the Hellenic Air Force on 1 Apr 41.
I think we are looking for another UQ-R. Ideas anyone?
Andy

PS Thanks to Martin for the correction on TR-K
