<p>c/n 11-880-207.
This is a composite restoration mostly using ‘9895’ but including parts from ‘10038’, which was briefly airworthy in the UK in 1987 as ‘G-MKIV’.
‘9895’ has been part of the museum since it was rescued from Canada in 1971, but restoration was only completed in 1996 once the additional components of ‘10038’ became available. The aircraft is painted to represent Blenheim ‘L9416 / XD-A’ of 139sqn RAF which crash landed near Hoepertingen, Belgium while on a mission to Maastricht on 12th May 1940. The squadron lost seven aircraft on this mission.
She is now displayed at what is known as the Brussels Air Museum, although it is actually the Air and Space Section of the Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and Military History.
Brussels, Belgium.
