The Bristol Blenheim Mk. IV built in Canada by Fairchild was called the Bolingbroke, used for coastal patrol and training. This aircraft is actually 10076, delivered to the R Canadian AF in January 1943 and declared surplus in 1946. It was acquired from storage on a farm in Canada by the Military Aircraft Restoration Corp in 1972 and moved to Chino, CA.
