Blenheim or similar over Cambridgeshire just now….

Hi all just seen flyover in the distance, what sounded and looked like a Bristol Blenheim?
Any info?
Thanks

These two called at RAF Linton On Ouse on the way south while the Blenheim and the other Spitfire stayed further to the east .

If it was a Blenheim I’ have a pretty good guess as to which one ;-P…….

ARCO’s fleet (2x Spits, Buch, Blenheim) returned from up north. It most certainly would’ve been the blenheim.

Entirely possible. G-BPIV/L6739 apparently appeared at the Sunderland airshow (?), and sadly cancelled East Fortune airshow, this weekend. I saw photos of it stationed at Newcastle Airport, so it made it up. Perhaps with the bad weather they delayed departure until today?
