Hi, I have an old E Bay pic that shows it as a MK.1 still on its landing gear but shot up on the ground. I have not mastered the art of image up load.
regards

Re: Greek Blenheim B255

Hi Rudi

In the new book BLENHEIMS OVER GREECE & CRETE, the author states that
B255 was destroyed/damaged on the ground at Eleusis on 21 April 1941.

Cheers
Brian

Thanks for the info Brian. Very much appreciated.

Thanks Kaiyan, but I don't need a photo. The info Brian gave me is all I was after.

Regards,
Rudi.

Re: Greek Blenheim B255

Kaiyan, B255 was an MkIV, not MkI as it was one of the 12 MkIV delivered to Greece in 1940. You can find more info and photos on all Greek Blenheims in the book Brian mentioned above.
