Any Ideas as to this Blenheim Crash

[Chris Goss]

Anyone seen this one before and can it be identified?

Could be Rootes built R3898 of No 114 Sqn came down near Haamstede, Zeeland, looking at the concrete telegrah poles: attacked by JG 54 on 1 August, 1940.

Thanks-so a victim of Galland? First letter in my photo does not look like an N though but crash is the same

Hi Chris,

What about R3692 of 40 Squadron ? It was force-landed during an attack on enemy troops between St-Valery and Abbeville on 6 June 1940. No information on the exact crash location.
There should be an AIR 81 personnel casualty file for this loss but I cannot find it in the files released so far.
In your photo that looks like 'R' to me preceding the digits.

Regards,

Martin Gleeson.

So we have a problem with serial , maybe from ORB ?
