Big chunk of Bristol Bolingbroke discovered in Manitoba

[Paul Stroud]

Another UK Blenheim/Bolingbroke static rebuild is underway at the Battle of Britain Museum in Hawkinge, Kent. It's using the wreckage of the original airworthy restoration which crashed plus Canadian parts including some from LAHC's project described in Thomas-Mac's post.

As someone who is flying the only operational Bristol Mercury in North America, I can assure you that it's a hard thing to accomplish.

Agreed Dave......wonder why they changed their initial approach to fly it with American Pratt or Wright engines. They had the drawings for the engine mounts and all since this was an actual production variant.......Certification may have been the issue.
