Alasdair GFL8411 was the plane my grandfather was piloting when he crashed in Corfu. No-one injured, the crew were "richly feted by Greek villagers" before getting back to the squadron some time in Nov 1940.
Squadron record for that mission was:
24/11/40 [Greece]
Blenheim I - L8411
S/Ldr Gordon-Finlayson
P/O Davies
P/O Geary
Raid on Durazzo
10.30
First reported missing later forced [reported] at Corfu where they had force-
landed with u/c up due to hydraulic gear being rendered u/s when a/c was
hit twice with AA shells.
