It served with No.3 Bombing & Gunnery School at MacDonald Airfield, Manitoba, Canada as RCAF 9987. It was struck-off charge in 1946. Almost 150 surplus Bolingbrokes were sold from this airfield. Donated to the museum by Harry and Anne Whereatt of Assiniboia, Saskatchewan. Painted up to represent an RAF Blenheim Mk.4 as a tribute to Calgary WWII Pilot Officer Barry Davidson who was shot down in an 18 Squadron Blenheim 6 July 1940 and didn't survive.
