53 Sqn Blenheim loss 1940
Hi

Short question - not a lot of info I am afraid.

Looking for info on Bristol Blenheim of 53 Sqn coded PZ-E belly landed crew POW near Gent, Belgium 1940. Was it part of the Expediationary Force in France or Coastal Command. No loss under Bomber Command.

Any help on serial or crew?

regards

MS
