Summary edit

Description

The Bolingbroke IV-T was identical to the Bristol Blenheim IV, but was built in Canada by Fairchild. This example was built in 1942 and served as a trainer in the Royal Canadian Air Force with the serial 10001. She was sold off in May 1946 and was stored derelict on a farm in Canada until purchased by the RAF Museum in April 1966. She arrived in the UK in 1968 and was stored at RAF Henlow. Between 1972 and 1978 the aircraft was completely restored and was painted to represent a Blenheim IV of 139 Squadorn. On completion she went on display in the Battle of Britain Hall, where it remained until 2016 when the hall was inexplicably dismantled to celebrate the RAFs 100th Anniversary(!?) She is now on display in Hangar 5, previously known as the Bomber Command Hall. RAF Museum London. Hendon, Greater London, UK
