Another UK Blenheim/Bolingbroke static rebuild is underway at the Battle of Britain Museum in Hawkinge, Kent. It's using the wreckage of the original airworthy restoration which crashed plus Canadian parts including some from LAHC's project described in Thomas-Mac's post.

Agreed Dave......wonder why they changed their initial approach to fly it with American Pratt or Wright engines. They had the drawings for the engine mounts and all since this was an actual production variant.......Certification may have been the issue.
