Technically, it's not a Blenheim at all.
OK Doc, this has piqued my interest. If not a Blenheim, what is it?But as Bolingbroke was also the name that Bristol had originally intended for the extended nose version of the Blenheim (rather than calling it the MkIV) - it really is splitting hairs

I'm guessing he might be inferring that the fuselage from which this a/c is built up from is in fact a Canadian built Bolingbroke - which is just a licence built MkIV Blenheim.

Thanks for that But as Bolingbroke was also the name that Bristol had originally intended for the extended nose version of the Blenheim (rather than calling it the MkIV) - it really is splitting hairs
I did wonder about the Bolingbroke, but I wasn't sure so kept quiet.
As for splitting hairs, thats what PH is about, isn't it??
