Hello Graham, thanks for your message regarding Blenheim L8675. I can confirm that the aircraft did crash near Crudgington in Shropshire rather than in Notts. It came down next to the sugarbeet factory at Allscott killing both crew. At the time 68 Squadron was operating from RAF High Ercall nearby and it is believed that the pilot was flying near his home. This has now been confirmed with an eye witness, the squadron ORB and the fact that both occupants deaths are registered at Wellington in Shropshire. I hope you managed to find the right aircraft! Best wishes, Tom
