Thanks Ed - some nice photos from Crete are appearing.
Although not particularly rare, the Blenheim is K7177/VT-N of 30 Sqn, which was abandoned (as captioned) at Maleme after being damaged on 27 Apr 41.

Looks like this was un-coded - or if it was coded only a single Sqn letter
Anyone ID the middle aircraft ?

Thanks Paul

Whitley of 77 Squadron, 'KN-Q'. possibly K8947 on night 15-16 October 1939

Hi all,

nice photo of Hawker Hurricane from France 1940:
https://www.ebay.de/itm/314038031506...cAAOSwJ-5iqunb

Based on my investigation, this is probably a Hawker Hurricane Mk. I L1679 from 1.SQ - famous pilot F / O P.H.M. Richey, who landed the machine on May 11, 1940 at Tournes-Belval airport due to lack of fuel and the machine was to be destroyed on May 14, 1940 during the German bombing of this airport.

More photos on same plane:

It is captioned as being in France, which would rule out K8947 (shot down near Frankfurt).
N1362 might fit the bill. This was lost on the late evening of 11 June 1940, crashing at Orgeres-la-Roche, as per: https://discovery.nationalarchives.g...ls/r/C14502515
Does the photo background offer any clues as to whether this might be possible?

Hi Andy and Paul,

Whitley N1362 I have with squadron code KNoB and with info, that dead crew was burried by Le Mans by allied soldiers.
As I know, this planes started from Jersey to raid Turin (Italy).

Does anyone have an ORB of this squadron from this period and can confirm / refute the letter of this machine?

Maybe it is typo in my archive.
