I would think this Blenheim I was operated by 211 Squadron, as denoted by the codes UO, when the squadron was involved in the Greek campaign of 1941. It was painted in the desert camouflage scheme of dark earth and mid stone with azure blue undersides.

The aircraft is a well-known official shot of Blenheim Mark I L6670 of 211 Squadron RAF, at Menidi (Tatoi) in Greece, in late 1940 or early 1941. The Squadron letters are UQ.

Something of a mystery here. The Squadron markings indicate that this Blenheim IF belongs to 266 (Rhodesian) Squadron based at RAF Sutton Bridge from 30 October 1939. The Squadron was intended to fly Bkenheim Fighters but actually equipped with Fairey Battle Light Bombers instead. It became a Spitfire Squadron in January 1940 and was based at RAF Wittering during the Battle of Britain.
