On 30 May, the Aircraft Restoration Company’s Bristol Blenheim Mk.I L6739,
registered as G-BPIV,
appeared in public at IWM Duxford for the first time as a complete aircraft since its long-term restoration began in Summer 2003.

The ARCo was contracted to provide two full-time engineers to the restoration project undertaken by Blenheim Duxford Limited (and supported by The Blenheim Society)
and she has been undergoing an extensive rebuild in IWM Duxford’s Hangar 3, and latterly in the ARCo’s facilities,
which has seen the Blenheim converted to Mk.I standard with the earlier, shorter nose.
The aircraft performed it’s first engine run on 23 May, with plan for the other engine to be run vey soon.
