IF the EBay photo caption location and date of 10 May 1940 is correct then do not forget 18 Squadron (code 'WV') which flew Blenheims.
This unit lost two Blenheims in or near the Netherlands on 10 May 1940, with some or all of the crew killed in each case.
L1405, crashed near Wesel, Germany.
L8860, crashed near Venlo.
The aircraft individual letters are unknown to me.

Regards,

Martin.

Hi Martin,

The first two Hurricane photos does not show an A/c which crashed
at Marignane in France on 8 June 1940.

If it crashed during a ferry flight from England to the Middle East this a/c is given at Loudun (300 kms south of Caen)

The many photos of this a/c taken by WH eliminate a plane crashed on the side of Marseille (Marignane) in June 1940 …

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Bertrand,

I think you are correct. The two photos show what looks like a German soldier from a motorcycle or reconnaissance unit. They certainly did not reach Marseilles in 1940 ! Thanks for the correction.

Regards,

Martin.

Hi Bertrand and all,

is there more info about the machine P2644 from Marseille? Is there any photo or info in chronicle of some unit? I have a theory, that this machine is from 8.6.1940 and crashed somewhere in north-west France and pilot escape via south France and Marseille.
