Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Stig,

Re. Blenheim R3602. My best guess is that, at most, there were weeks between the photos. I base this on the similar vegetation and the probability that the Germans would not want useless abandoned wrecks on the parts of the airfield they wished to us. Also the Blenheim on its belly does not look to be any more badly ‘souvenired’ or vandalised.

Andy,

I have noted the thread on Battle L5524 on the RAF Commands forum, but have refrained from comment so far until I obtain more information. This time last year I ordered copies of the AIR 81 casualty files for L5524 and L5437, but of course Covid-19 intervened. I do not expect to have them for months yet.
There are many photos of L5524, but none I know of that identify L5437. My money is still on L5524 with the Gulley crew. There is only a single grave visible in the many photos of the L5524 wreck. I would say too that it is unusual for serials to be transposed in the way they appear to be, L5437 with Gulley and L5524 with Beale, in the AIR 81 files but this seems to be the case here. The AIR 81 index does have many date errors and typos in the serials noted.
.
Regards,
.
Martin.
