Corgi Aviation Archive 1:72 Bristol Blenheim Mk IV RAF No.82 Sqn, 1942 AA38401


Limited Edition
711 of 2150
Pieces Worldwide

Condition

This Corgi model represents the world’s only airworthy Blenheim, operated by The Aircraft Restoration Company at Duxford. Originally a Canadian-built Bolingbroke IV T, it became the second Blenheim restored to flight after the first was lost in an accident. Flown by 'Hoof' Proudfoot in 1993 as Z5722 (G-BPIV), it appeared in various RAF schemes, including 82 Squadron’s ‘R3821/UX-N’. Damaged in a 2003 landing accident, it is now being rebuilt as a Blenheim Mk.I with a short nose, soon to fly again.
