104 Squadron Blenheim loss
 

I am searching for information about the loss of a 104 Squadron Blenheim on 2 January 1940. One member of the crew was a Sgt Colin Keiller, who is buried at Halton, and 'Bomber Command Losses Vol VII' confirms this date and squadron against his name. Oddly though, there is no accompanying record of the actual accident in Vol I.

Can anyone help me track down the actual aircraft, circumstances and the names of the rest of the crew please?

Thanks.

All I can find so far is that he died on Operational Service, which is not operational related. The aircraft loss is not shown on the Lost Bombers website.

Looks like 104 Sqn lost four aircraft - L1341, L8868, L8873 and P6929.

104 Squadron were operating the Bristol Blenheim I from May '38-Apr '40 and was stationed at Bicester from Sep '39-Apr '40. They were, from 26 Sept '39 to Feb '40, a pool bomber squadron with No 6 Group (which looks like it may have been a training squadron).
