Gentlemen

2306/4 gives me a problem
To me this looks like L9398 lost in France May 1940

However I also have another crashed Blenheim IV coded RT-N (ie also 114 Sq)
which was reported as being L9398.
I cannot identify the complete s/n myself since the first letter is more or less obliterated
while the first digit may (or may not) be a 9.
The last three digits may be 398 but knowing how easily the digits 3 can turn into 9s and
a digit 9 to an 8 and vice versa I am simply curious if anyone has a clue what RT-N really
was?

What is certain is that the two photos does not depict the same aircraft.

Cheers
Stig

2306 - 2 is Battle K9251 of 218 Sqn, abandoned at Auberive on 15 May 40.
2306 - 4 will be Blenheim L8398 of 30 Sqn, flown to Maleme from Elefsis on 18 Apr 41 and abandoned in Crete. It was coded VT-B, although there does not seem to be much sign of that.
L9398 was indeed lost in France with 114 Sqn, being abandoned after being damaged in an air raid on Condé-Vraux on 11 May 40

Thanks for that Andy

Good answer!!
What did I tell you? Those darn 9s and 8s....
I really should have noticed the Mk I nose. Guess I was too concentrated on the digits.

Oh well, so it goes.
Cheers
