A wireless operator/air gunner man his Vickers K gun in the turret of an RAF Bristol Blenheim Mk I at Menidi/Tatoi, North of Athens. The aircraft is surely a Blenheim of the No 211 Squadron RAF which moved from Middle East to Greece on November 1940 as asset of the British contingent sent to support the Greeks after the Italian attack. The principal bases of the Squadron during its deployment in the Balkans was Menidi/Tatoi and Paramythia with detachments on other airfields. Late April 1941 the Squadron returned in Middle East and converted to Blenheim IV. Victor Sierra
