Re: Bristol Blenheim's
Matti,
The F.78 for L9026 records the engine numbers as 129971 and 129969. The second - and last - unit movement on page 1 was to 'Bristols/4 M.U.' on 2-1-1940. Page 2 notes it was "Sold to Finland 17.1.40".
I am puzzled by your reference to 'S.3147' as the left engine number because S.3147 is nowhere to be found on the F.78 for L9027. The two engine numbers are A130021 and A130011. After 57 Squadron L9027 was sent to the Middle East and later India, before being written off during August 1942.
It looks certain, based on the two F.78s, that L9026 was the aircraft which was sent to Finland.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Martin Gleeson.
