Sunday the 30th March saw a major step forward with the restoration of the Bristol Blenheim, When for the first time in what seems many years the Mk.1 nose was re-positioned and the jig internal structure was removed.
this enabled us to check the lateral and horizontal levels against the datum, and as can be seen smudge was more than pleased with the results.
the next phase is to replace or repair all of the tubular structure which supports the glazing.
Following that stage we will be in a position to remove the nose from the jig and trial fit it onto the fuselage and our first real chance to see what a Blenheim Mk.1 will look like.
