Hi Guys after further research I believe this aircraft was with 254 Squadron not 235 Sqn.
I have also added addition MkIV skins to the link above.

I have been meaning to do these skins for a while.
I have redone these skins as they say in this quote from http://www.211squadron.org/bristol_blenheim_i.html
The squadron letters on Blenheim Is of this period have been interpreted as dull red by many illustrators, but at this date, given the Air Ministry Orders of the day and the various other examples in photographs, it is hard to conclude anything other than that they are dull grey.
RAF 211Sqn UQ were based in Greece when Italy and Germany invaded and sad to say they had to fight an up hill battle. They lost 3 aircraft on the ground by a Italian air raid and in the final few days of the campaign lost the remaining 6 aircraft to 6./JG27 Bf 109's on there way to attack German ground troops. Un-escorted they were sitting ducks and were all lost before they even reached the target area.
I have only found 2 correct RAF serial numbers to match the unit codes so have repeated the code.
If anyone knowns more please email me so I can correct things.

Thanks for your comments.
I did some more research on RAF 211 Sqn and have corrected the skins.
Please delete the old ones as the red codes aren't correct.

Bristol Blenheim Mark I, L1381 fuselage code VA-G, of No. 84 Squadron RAF, prepare to board their aircraft at Menidi/Tatoi Airport, Greece, for a raid on an Italian port in Albania during the Italo-Greek war of 1940/1941. The Blenheim L1381 was one of four aircraft of this type lost by RAF during a raid on Valona, Albania, on 7 December 1941, when it crash-landed near Sarande after being damaged by an Italian fighter

Hi Guys here's a few more since the boys at Team Fusion are going to release a new version soon...
Very nice skins.
Do you have any more information about that? - I'm pretty sure I haven't heard anything about Team Fusion releasing a new Blenheim 'soon'.
Do you mean as a flyable version of the MkI or a non-flyable type?
Where did you hear about it becoming available?
Anyway, great skins! Thanks.

No I meant that they are coming out with a newer version but sad to say no new aircraft at this stage. I wish I could make some new aircraft for them but I have no idea about 3d modelling although I would like to learn. If you know anyone who can give some guide I would be gald to help them but there site always seems so chaotic. Anyway must go have a plane to catch.
