The identity and history of this Canadian AF Bolingbroke are currently unknown, except that it was one of the three Bolingbrokes brought to Melun-Villaroche in France for restoration. The nose of this one was no longer needed at Melun-Villaroche and it then went to the Musée du Terrain d'Aviation de Condé-Vraux 1939-1945 in Vraux. It should be 10040 or 10184. Inside it the museum placed the seat of RAF Blenheim Mk4 L8738 that was found in the area after it went missing on 14-May-1940 while in action at the Sedan bridges.
