A Blenheim Mk.V, initially known as the Bisley, fitted with an under-nose gun position. Note that, unlike the Mk.IV, the Mk.V cross section in front of the cockpit is symmetrical from just behind the nose to the windshield. The type was used by Bomber and Coastal Commands (who operated this example). It was built by Avro and Rootes in addition to Bristols, from whom photo was obtained.

This was the prototype Don training aircraft which first flew from Hatfield on 18 June 1937. The cabin allowed the type to be used as a radio trainer and the rotatable rear turret was used by gunnery trainees. Only 30 Dons were completed and all had been withdrawn by 1941. Obtained from DH 60 years ago.
