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. |

Re: Crashed english plane
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 |
