| This group of photographs feature Bristol Blenheims and other aircraft which have belly landed in the Western Desert in North Africa. |

| The markings indicate a South African squadron. This aircraft appears not to have belly landed but might have been badly battle damaged. The "rig" is a Commer Q2 with Queen Mary trailer. A restored one can be found here. |

A different Blenheim this time. The aircraft is lifted so the undercarriage can be manually cranked down. |
