Photo Comment

This looks like a Blenheim but it is a Bristol 149 Bolingbroke IVT salvaged from Canada (ex RCAF 10201). It flew in its original Bolingbroke configuration with the long nose until it crashlanded at Duxford on 19 Aug 2003. It was then rebuilt and fitted with the short nose of Blenheim IF L6739 and it re-appeared on the airshow circuit as such in 2015. The aircraft is flown by the Aircraft Restoration Company.
