Here’s graham with The Blenheim Boys last October.

Sad news indeed, was at Duxford when the original Blenheim crashed, only saw it distantly before it left Duxford, remember the announcer asking for members of the team to go to the, ‘control room’. Blue skies…….

does his sad passing impact on the future of the project in any way ?

Graham had passed ownership of the aircraft to Blenheim (Duxford) Ltd – and work continues.

It is sad that he didn’t see the aircraft fly again, but he kept very close contact with the project and knew the progress that was being made, and that the aircraft was in very safe hands.

Graham was a wonderful ambassador for the Blenheim Boys, and a fantastic President of the Blenheim Society. We will miss him very much – but what a legacy he leaves……

Like others I only new of Graham Warner because of the Blenheim.
I feel sad for him that the (restored) Blenheim didn’t have a happier flying career. I often wonder if he thought it should have remained the `Best Forgotten Bomber` !

Like many I was very sorry to hear of Graham’s passing.

My passion for the Blenheim was kicked off by his “The Forgotten Bomber” and when I acquired his unsurpassed “The Complete History” and learned some details of a particular Blenheim that had crashed near my Belgian home town I got myself into a research project that has been on-going for more than 10 years now. Early on I briefly corresponded with Graham about that aircraft and found him to be most helpful. He suggested I join the Blenheim Society which I promptly did and which gave my research a huge boost.

So thank you Graham for putting that wonderful aircraft back on the map and in the skies and for honouring the Blenheim Boys by doing so.

Blue skies Sir.

Very sad news indeed, I had the pleasure to meet Graham on numerous occasions over the years and his passion for the Blenheim was unsurpassed. Always helpful and encouraging and above one of life’s true gentleman.

RIP Graham

Septic.

Now there’s a shame- his efforts for the Blenheim alone were superlative. What a shame he didn’t live to see the ‘Mk1’ take to the air. His correspondence in ‘The Forgotten Bomber’ to pilot Roy Pullan still makes for chilling reading, too.

Sad news… I only consulted his Magnum Opus Blenheim ‘The Complete History’ Book again last week (for up teem time) blue skies

Blue skies.

RIP Graham. Thank you for all that you have done for both motor-sport and aviation. Your legacy will live on, I’m sure. I repeat – blue skies and straight roads sir.

does his sad passing impact on the future of the project sin any way ?

For those of us who used to inhabit the forests in anoracks and bobble hats Graham Warner will also always be associated with The Chequered Flag Garage and with campaigning a privateer Lancia Stratos

blue skies and straight roads.

In his lifetime Graham Warner did much more than enough to earn the gratitude and respect of us all. Of course he will always be most closely associated with the Blenhiem, but in founding The Aircraft Restoration Co. he did something that will continue to help shape the vintage aircraft scene in the UK well into the future, and as enthusiasts we are all very much the richer for it. Thank you Sir, thank you so much.

So sad. A life well lived. As a young lad I went to see Grahams and Robs collections at Duxford in the 70s/80s (British Aerial Museum). Lasting memories that cemented my love of old aircraft.

R I P Thank you for bring us a Blenheim with your team.Hopefully it will grace the skies soon as a fitting memorial.

Indeed Gary…and nicely said if I may say so!

He achieved so much.

Thank you Mr Warner

That’s sad news.

A great man with considerable foresight, ambition and ability. Such a shame he was unable to see the Blenheim return again to the skies. Thoughts go to his family and friends.
