THE BRISTOL BLENHEIM

 

The Bristol Blenheim

Was a Second World War

British light bomber

It had an all-metal stressed skin

Retractable landing gear

Powered gun turret

And variable pitch propellers

State of the art at the time

And cutting edge for the RAF

But in truth it was no match

For the German Messerschmitt Bf 109

So, its time as a front line

Combat aircraft were short lived
