I was wondering the other day what happend to the incomplete Bolingbroke featured in an article in the first ever copy of FlyPast that I read, must have been during 1982 or something. The airframe like so many others had been picked clean and dumped at a farm. I believe it ended up with the Maude family. It was to be fully restored.
Does anyone know what happend to it?

Was that one of the aircraft from Ernie Simmons farm?
He had several along with Yales and IIRC, Lysanders.I think many, perhaps most, of the surviving Bolingbrokes came from his group.
I think Ernie Simmons had only 1 Bolingbroke, you may be thinking of Wes Agnew of Brandon Manitoba who had many Bolingbrokes pass through his ownership over the years.

No – it was bought surplus by the Maude family.

RCAF 9104, is at the BC Aviation Museum. There is some dispute as to ownership.
