Fantastic to see the old girl flying again. Well done to the dedicated people that got it airworthy.

Couldn't agree more John....what we desperately need now is a Mosquito!

Re: Restored Blenheim Bomber Flying Again
Saw the Blenheim at Chalke Valley History Festival on Saturday - quite a sight! It's in Mk 1 configuration (short nose). It looks quite solid and sprightly in the air. Not hard to see staff officers being impressed with it in 1937, when the squadrons still had Harts etc. There was a Catalina there yesterday - another first for me. Very stately. Will post an account of the Bomber Command talks yesterday morning when I've a bit more time.
