Re: Blenheim flies again!
Very good news, indeed. Never did get to see one fly - the first restored one crashed a few weeks before I was due to see it at a show....

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Bolingbroke is apparently progressing well in Hamilton, ON, so maybe we'll have two in the air like the Mosquitos.

Love this. Perhaps one day it will fly alongside the Hammer Boly.
