I can only echo, great find.

#1 looks like UX-N, with the serial appearing to end in 2. Ideas anyone?
#7 QT-H of 142 Sqn also has me stumped.

Paul,

Re. #1709. I'm out of my depth here dealing with French aircraft but that second wreck is also a MS.406. Right now I am looking at a copy of the AVIONS Hors-Serie No. 24 'La Debacle de mai-juin 1940' by Denes Bernad, Christophe Cony and Michel Ledet. It is a softback publication with captions in French and English devoted to photographs of wrecked or abandoned French aircraft, all taken by German soldiers during and after the campaign.
I think there are two photos of the near Morane on page 21. The location is Cambrai airfield after it was abandoned on 17 May 1940. The aircraft is identified as No. 918 '2' of GC III/2 and the pilot was a Lt. Lechat.

Regards,

Martin.

Ed,

for your post #1706.

1/ Blenheim R3618 UX-N, 82 Sqn., lost 8-6-1940.
3/ Battle K9273 HA-R, 218 Sqn., abandoned Auberieve-sur-Suippes airfield 15-5-1940.
7/ Battle QT-H, 142 Sqn. Probably L5440 though not certain. Probably one of the few 142 Sqn. aircraft with the serials overpainted. Abandoned at Berry-au-Bac airfield 16-5-1940.
9/ Blenheim UX-Z, 82 Sqn. Probably P6925, lost 13-6-1940 (belly-landed).
The only other 'UX-Z' Blenheims around this period that I can find are;
R3800, lost 13-8-1940 (offshore) and
T2163, lost 11-1-1941 (probably lost at sea).
10/ Blenheim UX- of 82 Squadron. ID unknown.
11/ Blenheim YH-A R2780, 11 Sqn., abandoned Larissa in Greece April 1941
13 & 14/ Battle L5231 QT-G, 142 Sqn., lost 10-5-1940.
17/ Battle PH-P L5190. 12 Sqn., lost 10-5-1940.
22/ Battle P2203 HA- . 218 Sqn., lost 11-5-1940.

Regards,

Martin.

Martin,
Thanks for the extra information.
Regarding #9, Blenheim P4843 (lost 7 July 1940, crashed in Germany) was also UX-Z I believe, althought it is unlikely to be a candidate for this photo.

Andy,

I have P4843 as UX-J, based on multiple entries in the Watton ORB (AIR 28/902).

Martin.
