Here is a rare bird indeed! The Bristol 'Blenheim' was a medium bomber used by the British early in WW2. It was employed in anti-shipping operations as well as low-level bombing. It was already obsolescent by war's beginning and their crews suffered very heavy losses. The Canadian Warplane Heritage in Hamilton, ON is currently restoring one of this marque.
Bolingbroke was the Canadian built version. This one is in Commonwealth Air Training Plan colours. (She shows up well in street view!)
