Unknown Aircraft

For some years now I am researching all the planes that came down in my village of Aalst-Waalre, Holland. (just south of Eindhoven).
My interest was triggered by a story of an old neighbour about an crashed aircraft. When I started the research I found many more planes that came down in the village (2 x Dornier 217, a Lanc, a Halifax, a Wellington, a Whitley and a Typhoon). Also I discovered the places were they came down and spoke many eyewitnesses.

Although all those findings and researches I forgot a bit about the first plane that started it all. Lately an eyewitness pointed me a crashlocation I didn't know. My metaldetector gave several findings but nothing with marking stamps. The ammo that I found was British so that is the direction I must look into. Finaly I found a picture of a kid near a plane wreck that was taken in the village. The kid lived near the crashlocation and although the picture is very bad, the piece of plane (tail) that can be seen on the picture doesn't belong to the other planes I researched so it almost certain this is the mystery plane I am looking for.

But after all those years and all the books and websites I checked I still haven't got a idea which plane this must have been. Me and an friend think we reconize a Blenheim tail, but we are not certain.

Anyone know a loss near my village or Eindhoven that could match this plane? Any help is welcome to solve this case.
I hope to post the picture soon, but having some trouble now.

Thanks,
Ray
