Greenwood Military Aviation Museum Bolingbroke Restoration Project |

Ironically the Bolingbroke/Blenheim was an aircraft obsolete before the first unit was rolled off the assembly line! Despite being the fastest aircraft in the British inventory, the first forays into enemy territory during the opening salvos of World War II the enemy proved to have faster more agile aircraft. Nevertheless, almost 7000 Blenheims were manufactured in many countries and almost 700 Bolingbrokes were produced in Canada. At this stage in history the aviation industry virtually exploded with faster fighter and larger bomber aircraft. The Bolingbroke became one of the first multi-role aircraft and was ordered by the RCAF in 1939 to replace the Anson, constructed largely of wood and thus not as durable as the all-aluminum Bolingbroke. This then is a natural progression for the Greenwood Military Aviation Museum, linking with the Anson and the Lancaster as aircraft flown from Greenwood. To date there are a mere half dozen Bolingbrokes at various stages of restoration in Canada.
