There is a photo of a crashed Blenheim here https://ibccdigitalarchive.lincoln.ac.uk/omeka/files/original/2672/47691/PGouldS19060006.2.jpg

Can anyone identify the exact aircraft etc from the squadron markings?

The markings fit the Blenheim Mk I of the 44 Squadron. The unit code is the pre-war type one.

The possible kite could be:

K7078 abandoned after control of the aircraft, lost on 27th January 1938, RAF Waddington crashed near Blue Bell Inn, Tattershall Thorpe, Lincolnshire.
K7134 under carriage retracted by mistake after landing on 27th January 1938, RAF Waddington.
K7127 suffered engine failure on take-off and swung on 22nd April 1938, RAF Waddington.
K7128 under carriage raised by mistake, during the landing on 12th May 1938, RAF Waddington.
L1199 crashed on landing on 24th January 1939, RAF Waddington.
K7138 suffered engine failure on approach, causing the wing to hit the ground and the aircraft cart wheeled on 30th January, RAF Waddington.
L1155 suffered engine failure on take-off and stalled on 15th February, RAF North Coates
