Regle (or regele or regel.. try again Fubaar!!!) You are quite correct about the rebuilt Blenheim, didn't last long before it was in pieces again. Heart breaking for those involved in the restoration, but ll credit, they went and started all over again....
I'd always thought the Blenheim had been lauded as superior to any fighter (like the Mossie, but 1933 performance nothing like 1940 capabilities, I suppose. I'm just astonished that it went into full scale production with such poor control layout. No wonder a lot of BC veterans volunteered for front line service rather than risk their lives in HCU training!!!! The enemy you know is trying to kill you, rather than "green" crews who might succeed!
Also, it's now reached over a 1,000 postings, really remarkable tribute to Cliff and others who have made this thread come alive.
