2015 was the first display season for this Blenheim following a lengthy restoration at Duxford. It had previously been restored over a five-year period as a Blenheim IV and flew at various air shows until it crash-landed at Duxford in 2003. Originally a Bolingbroke salvaged from Canada, it is now fitted with a Blenheim Mk I nose, and looks all the better for it. It is seen here during its flying display at RIAT.
