Great to see it happen at last. I'm sure they'll have better luck with this restoration than the previous two. Really looking forward to seeing her fly 'in the flesh'. :thumbsup:

Thanks, Noddy! :thumbsup:
Whenever Blenheims and Hampdens come to mind, my heart goes out to the poor blighters who had to fly them against far superior fighting machines. :(

I've been following the Blenheim since 1987. I missed the original aircraft except for seeing the remains at Duxford and have been a regular `bomb` contributor ever since.
Got to see it a few times before it's second sad demise and followed the restoration yet again 8) .
This aircraft goes down in my own personal history as the one I've seen the insides of more than the outsides :lol:
Glad to see it flying :cheers:
