Isn't some group currently doing a re-build of a Blenheim? From what regele has said in his last post, it will be an interesting first flight for them if they get it to an airworthy state. Reading regel's description of what was involved in just flying such a machine (forget actually operating one in a combat environment!) gives a whole new understanding of what a steep learning curve it must have been for the (mostly very low time) crews of that had to operate those aeroplanes in a totally unforgiving environment, and why the RAF lost more crews to training accidents during WW2 than they did to enemy action.
