Blenheim P6293 - Lost 13 June 1940
During a visit to Conde-Vraux Museum I saw this panel on display. The markings clearly indicate it to have come from P6923, a 114 Sqn machine supposedly lost on 13.6.1940 during ops to Foret de Gault. At least, the Air Britain P-Register shows it thus. However, I cannot see the loss in "Battle of France; Then & Now" for that date.
What is the story of the possible loss of P6923? One for Peter Cornwell I think!
I imagine that this panel was changed and abandoned at Vraux, rather than originating from the apparent 13 June crash.
NB: Edit function did not allow me to correct typo in title which SHOULD read P6923, of course!
