Blenheim MkI

[acred99]

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.

Hi Guys
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.
