Before WIX, in the previous version. Scott had a section for members affiliated projects.

I got involved locally with a Canadian build Fairchild Bolingbroke / Bristol Blenheim about 25 years ago.......the org never got it off the ground.

Finally being worked on and will be full restored to it's original Canadian maritime duty of costal command.

They also have a Napier Saber engine from a crashed Canadian Typhoon which is in surprising condition considering what it went through!

Great to see another Bolingbroke under restoration, great choice if colour scheme too.

I'm guessing the Armstrong-Siddely radial is a Cheetah from an Anson?

I'm guessing the same being from Canada.

The engine is soooo crusty it is hard to see any data plate.

Love the wood firewall!!!!!

Wow,

what a great looking collection.

If I recall correctly, that Bolingbroke came from the Canadian Museum of Flight in the early 1990's?

I'm really happy to see it being looked after properly.

Cheers,

David
