The ploth thickens on this one Gents!

Finland bought a hundred something wagonloads of Blenheim from the Germans which captured them in Yugoslavia. Not all wagonloads arrived in Finland, some were lost enroute. So there is actually a great possibility that the Blenheim Mk IV have parts from Yugoslavia in it. Exciting, isn't it!?

I'll see if I can find the e-mail I got on this.
