L8397, 31 August 1940
L1538, 18 October 1940
and possibly L8530 on 12 October 1940.
All crashed at or near Fuka.
It would be great if someone can positively identify this Blenheim.

Could be an ex-55 Sqnd aircraft allocated to another unit operating in Greece.
I have an 2017 ebay pic of the forward part of a Blenheim Mk I 'MERCURY' with dust filters under the engines,
and in the background there is an engineless PZL 24 coded Δ122.
