Blenheim flies again!

Post by bluesteel »

This time as a Mk 1.

Aircraft Restoration Company’s Bristol Blenheim Mk.I L6739 (G-BPIV) takes to the air again at IWM Duxford on Nov 20th 2014. Superb pictures here:

Very good news, indeed. Never did get to see one fly - the first restored one crashed a few weeks before I was due to see it at a show....

Bolingbroke is apparently progressing well in Hamilton, ON, so maybe we'll have two in the air like the Mosquitos.

Love this. Perhaps one day it will fly alongside the Hammer Boly.
