I can only find one decent photo on this staffel if anyone has any additional photo's would love to add more skins. I'm sorry guys but this website is a pain to upload files too.. it constantly drops out on me. Pls visit my site for additional images.

Here are two more Red 3 and Red 10.
In the photo and angle you can't really tell what E version it is but I have labelled it an E-3 mainly because of the camouflage. Red 10 is a guess and the Red tip on the prop also a guess.

Here is another batch.
Red 1 didn't have the emblem in the photo but I have included two versions.
The line up photo under the magnifying glass has Red 10 Red 1 and I think Red 3 or 2 added a couple of others for fun. They seemed to be E-1's and E-3's either will work up to you which one because there is no photo's showing which ones are 3'e etc. I've also elected for grey as the gun tray colour not yellow.

On Wednesday, December 27, 1939 the RAF lost two Blenheim's one from 18Sqn and another from 107 Sqn I believe that it was the RAF 107 Sqn aircraft as it was reported crasing off the Island of Wanerooge.
