FalkeEins Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 rather evocative pic of freshly 'repainted' Blenheim IV currently on offer on ebay.de . A couple more pics including a (rather difficult to read) view of the serial here Can anyone identify it for me please? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham T Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Sadly it's not clear enough, for me at least. I can say that it's from 21 squadron if that's any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWFK10 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 21 Sqn's T2282 is recorded in Graham Warner's Blenheim book as being shot down by flak near Flushing on the night of 10/11 Feb 1941 and crashing into the Scheldt after the crew baled out. The serial does look like T?282, so maybe the aircraft made a reasonable landing on the river and was recovered? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 During this period Blenheims were painted with black undersides - and fins? So almost there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
