On Thursday November 20, 2014, Bristol Blenheim Mk.I L6739 (G-BPIV) was pushed out of the Aircraft Restoration Company’s hangar at Duxford airfield and given a final engine test, prior to its first post restoration flight. Moments later, this extremely rare British aircraft took to the skies once more and immediately became one of the most important historic aircraft in the world, the only flying example of its type. Configured as a Mk.I night fighter version of the Blenheim, which saw service during the Battle of Britain, this magnificent aircraft was destined to become highly sought after during the 75th Anniversary commemorations of the Battle of Britain in 2015.
