Crashed english plane

Hello, today I got a new picture in my collection.

http://users.pandora.be/thoelen/rese...met%20naam.JPG

This is written on the backside

http://users.pandora.be/thoelen/rese...met%20naam.JPG

For people who don't understand german:
"This was once an english plane
Our chief, a leutnant and your Herbert.
( in a rather funny pose, I really wanted to run away ) "

Is it possible with this limited info to find something about the plane, the crew or the germans that discovered it?
Hopefully it is and thanks in advance.

Hello

If the date is correct it should be the Blenheim Mk IV T-1829 18Sqn WV-P

If the event happened during the night before there are several possibilities , Several Hampden and a Blenheim were loss mostly over Holland and one over Belgium , that depend if you have an idea of the crash place .

N-3569 82Sqn
X-3153 106Sqn
X-3148 106Sqn
AD-828 50Sqn
AD-789 50Sqn
X-3066 144Sqn

Regards
Phil

Re: Crashed english plane

thanks for the answers already
I don't even any more ideas about the place.

Do you know the crashsites of those planes Flupke?

I live quite close to Neeroeteren, the terrain looks like it.
But Holland is flat too , but if you know the exact locations, perhaps we can exclude some by judging the terrain.

Re: Crashed english plane

I found this website:
http://www.flensted.eu.com/194101.shtml

there it states that Blenheim Mk IV T-1829 18Sqn WV-P crashed into the sea
What source is right?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/ww2peopleswar/s...a4389221.shtml
Also found this, where it states that
Hampden X3153 ZN crashed into a Me110.
Would we have to see two wrecks then? And would the german made a picture then when he knew a german buddy died?
Also that site doesn't mention the crashing of the AD-789
