About Corgi Diecast Bristol Blenheim MK IVF Britain First
For an aircraft which occupies such a significant position in the history of British aviation, it is perhaps a little surprising that there is currently only one airworthy example of a Bristol Blenheim flying anywhere in the world. Indeed, for many years after the end of WWII, there was no example of the Blenheim to be found flying anywhere in the world, a situation which only changed in May 1987, following the completion of a meticulous 12 year restoration project. This resulted in a Blenheim taking to the skies for the first time in 40 years, to the delight of aviation enthusiasts across the globe. Unfortunately, exactly one month after making its historic first flight, the aircraft was destroyed following an accident at an Airshow in Buckinghamshire. The aircraft modeled here is a representaion of the second Blenheim restoration to take place in the UK, one which made its first post restoration flight only six years after the demise of the first aircraft. Although this Blenheim would fare much better than it predecessor and spend ten successful years on the UK Airshow circuit, it too would be lost in a landing accident on returning to Duxfod following an Airshow appearance. The damaged airframe would form the basis of a third lengthy restoration project, one which resulted in a triumphant return to flight, again from Duxford airfield on November 20th, 2014. This magnificent aircraft is still delighting Airshow audiences to this day as the only airworthy Bristol Blenheim in the world.
