Re: Blenheims (30°Sqdr) in Greece
Hi Stig,
The initial Blenheim's allocated to 30 Sqn were shipped to Alexandria in crates and erected at Aboukir.
K7103 was collected from Aboukir by 30 Sqn CO S/L Stainforth on 24th January 1938 and flown at various stages around bases in Egypt over the next few days. Eventually it was flown, also by S/L Stainforth, to Dhibban (Habbaniya) and to 30 Sqn on 28th January.
K7098 was collected from Aboukir by 30 Sqn CO S/L Stainforth on 8th February 1938 and flown to Dhibban.
Regards,
Simon
