Airfix - Bristol Blenheim Mk.1 - 1:48 (A09190)
When the first Bristol Blenheim Mk.I light bomber entered Royal Air Force
service with No.114 Squadron at Wyton in March 1937, they not only replaced
the squadron’s Hawker Hind biplane bombers, but also pointed to the future
of a new, modern air force. Capable of speeds approaching 100 mph faster
than its predecessor, the Blenheim was the most capable light/medium bomber
in the world at that time and would be the benchmark for all future aircraft
designs, including those it would soon be forced to meet in combat. During
the early months of WWII, Blenheim crews would carry a heavy burden of
strike operations against enemy targets, both from bases in the UK and in
France as part of the Advanced Air Striking Force and British Expeditionary
Force.
