Description

This Bristol Blenheim Mk I represents RAF No.211 Squadron aircraft “The Bish” flown by Gordon Finlayson from Paramythia, Greece in 1940. Finished in a desert-style camouflage scheme, it captures an early-war RAF light bomber tied to the hard-fought Mediterranean theatre.

A distinctive addition to any WWII RAF collection, especially for displays focused on early-war bombers and lesser-seen Mediterranean subjects. Ideal for display and for collectors who enjoy aircraft linked to notable wartime crews and operations.
