These two Bristol Bolingbrooke bomber/gunnery trainers had somehow survived for 27 years since World War 2 ended. The near one (10038) was restored as a Blenheim Mk.IV bomber in the UK, a feat which took many years of painstaking work, only to have the effort wasted by a pilot who crashed it almost immediately.
