East Kirkby Lincolnshire 5th August 2017

East Kirkby Lincolnshire 5th August 2017
The star of the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre's flying programme for me was the display by Duxford's rebuilt Bristol Blenheim F1 L6739.

The aircraft was first restored in 1987 as a Mark IV aircraft but unfortunately, the Blenheim crash-landed in August 2003 at Duxford. While the aircraft suffered considerable damage, she wasn’t broken beyond repair and as a Mark 1 nose had been acquired already it was decided to rebuild it as the early version. It made it's maiden flight in this guise in November 2014.

Thanks. Colour photos are great but preserved aircraft start to look like models they are so pristine! I thought black & white gave it a more "retro" feel.
