The aircraft flew with great success for ten years with an enviable serviceability record among the vintage aircraft fraternity before once again, in August 2003, suffering significant damage during a landing accident at Duxford.

Sort of. G-BPIV was damaged landing short at Duxford in 2003 due to fuel starvation. It's under rebuild, and they are attaching a Mk.I nose to the aircraft to demonstrate the different version - the Blenheim I and IV being essentially the same aft of the cockpit and the fuselage having a join there.

The aircraft has advanced further than in the image on the linked page above.
