| A crucial aircraft in the early years of World War 2 was the Bristol Blenheim. The Mk.I first flew in 1935, and over 6,000 were built in total. The only complete original Blenheim is in Finland, although there are a few wrecks in museums. All the rest are Canadian-built Bolingbrokes. Many of these survived after the second world war, as they were sold to local farmers for spares. These survived many years of Canadian winters, but most have now made it to museums, or have been placed in storage. |
