Bristol Blenheim

| Bristol Blenheim |
The Royal Air Force Museum has a long nosed version:
As the Allied Ground and Air Forces faced defeat in May 1940 the RAF had to use its light bomber force in desperate daylight raids against German army bridgeheads in France and the Low Countries. The Blenheim Mk IVs and Fairey Battles used in these attacks suffered crippling losses. In fact no higher loss, in operations of a similar size, has ever been suffered by the Royal Air Force.
The Blenheim Mk IV, with its redesigned and longer nose, superseded the Blenheim I on the production lines in 1938. The original short nose Blenheim Mk I had been developed from a civil aircraft and was one of the first new high performance monoplanes ordered under RAF Expansion Plans.
After the fighting in France was over Coastal and Bomber Command Blenheim Ivs began day and night attacks against German occupied ports and installations in frantic attempts to disrupt their invasion plans. These attacks continued through into 1941 and on 4 July Wg Cdr HI Edwards was awarded the Victoria Cross for his part in a daylight bombing attack on Bremen while flying a Blenheim Mk IV.
A number of night fighter conversions were made from early Blenheim Mk Is and later Blenheim Mk IVs but their lack of speed precluded any great success.
Blenheims also served in North Africa and the Far East.

I Bought a Liquidated 45 Ton Metal Bending Robot
Watch Wes Work
I remember going with Marc a few years ago to look at used CNC machines. They were awful. Huge boxes of custom alien electronics. I did not understand how anyone could make these work without spending a fortune on more obsolete, alien electronics. Marc did eventually buy one machine and got it to work, at least a little bit. I wonder what ever happened to it.
Old posts about Marc's CNC machine:

| B-25 Maid in the Shade |
She flies with the Confederate, er, Commemorative Air Force:
B-25J Mitchell “Maid in the Shade” was built in early 1944. She’s very rare – one of 34 B-25Js still flying. Nearly 10,000 were produced.
Used mainly as a low altitude strafe and skip bomber. Was used in America’s first large-scale bombing offensive in the Philippines - sunk 8 ships and shot down 5 planes.
Combat History – Based out of Serraggia Airbase, Corsica from Nov 1 – Dec 31, 1944.
Assigned to:
- 57th Bomb Wing o 319th Bomb Wing o 437th Squadron
- Combat missions flown:
- 13 over Italy
- 2 over Yugoslavia
I've made several posts about B-25s including one about this same airplane.
