Bleriot pictures

In July last year, I wisited the site of Bleriot´s landing. It has a memorial in the shape of the outlines of the Bleriot XI. At the time it was badly sign posted and very difficult to find via a footpath through some dense wood. Hope they have improved the signs for the 100 annaversary.

From the files….

As its the 100th anniversary of Bleriot’s flight across the channel how about posting pics of Bleriots?.

Here’s a Bleriot type that made a spot landing on a roof somewhere in N.London, I believe.

Surprised that no one has posted this one yet

Musee Des Arts et Des Metiers about 2002 and looking very frail. Pity the roof is almost the same colour.

G-LOTI at PFA Rally Cranfield? early 1980’s

Some photo’s I took at Biggin Hill in 2008 of one of Mikael Carlson’s Bleriot XI/Thulin A’s.
I apologise for the quality of them, But I hope they are in the spirit of what people want.

And a post card showing the aeroplane with broken undercarriage and propeller.
I do have a small bit of the propeller.

Here’s a cigar label from july 1909.

Thanks for the info I will have to get a copy, there is a good piece in the latest Flypast about Swedish built Bleriot’s and a Mikael Carlson who has 2 originals which he flies. Great.
