Greek or RAF Blenheim ?
Hello,
Is this Blenheim a Greek or RAF aircraft ? Can anyone make out the lettering beneath the cockpit ? Alex http://www.ebay.de/itm/Foto-2-WK-Luf...75.c100623.m-1 |

The lettering that I can see below the cockpit reads "MERCURY". The aircraft in the background is an engineless PZL P24.

Re: Greek or RAF Blenheim ?
Hello,
Thank you both, that does then make it an RAF aircraft rather than a Greek one. A/c "M", named "Mercury". Any idea's as to Squadron or serial number ? Thank you Alex |

211 Sqn. Several aircraft of this squadron bore individual names, not necessarily related to the letter in their squadron code. The place is most likely Paramythia
