Lets hope for 10 or more years incident free flying this time.
She’s been under rebuild for 33 years all told!

You sure on that number? Worked started on G-BPIV around 1988, it flew again in 1993 and crashed in 2003. So that’s 16 years assuming work started straight away in 2003.

Or are you including the G-MKIV in that as well? Though I thought that took around 12 years to rebuild which makes 28 years of Blenheim/Bolingbroke restoration.

Either way, a wonderful restoration and look forward to seeing it in the air again.

Oh the parts that Vampire could yield for VZ193……… 🙂

Interesting post to reawaken this thread……

To put things in context, my now deleted post prior to yours regarding the current location of ‘EYC’s fin was indeed a bit left field.

However having got a response, the matter was very quickly cleared up and so the final act was to delete said post and move on.

The asset number 78/E/264 suggests a major collection, and going by the ambient lighting/surroundings I would tentatively suggest the RAF Museum store at Stafford.

As mentioned above group records state BZM was delivered to Stretford November 1962

As for ‘BEE, that came North over the weekend of 30th Nov/1st Dec 1963 packed in a 25ft glider trailer!
