Sorry, what's a Blenheim?

I believe that's the worlds only flying Blenheim.  You can see the modern radio on the right hand side of the instrument panel.

I got pretty far on preliminary selection for college Jeopardy without actually being on TV. There were some topics I thought I knew forwards and backwards like history of the Civil War and Renaissance Italy. But I still had my ass kicked. I can say from my experience that they truly put the elite of the elite onto their shows.

Status: offline 		A childhood friend was on Jeopardy and won a bit of money.  I think about $10,000.  He wasn't the brightest guy I've ever known, but he has a very good memory.  He was always top student in the class, but he couldn't figure out anything on his own.

I had another guy like that in my high school class and another classmate described him as having a massive amount of RAM, but a 2 bit microprocessor.

Very bright fellow, an insurance adjuster.
Played many rounds of trivia games versus him. Always a good moment when I beat him :)

Just to be a little bit picky, wouldn't "What is a Fairchild Bolingbroke IV-T? be a better answer???

For general interest that photo must have been taken a while ago and this particular aircraft (RCAF 10201/G-BPIV) is currently being rebuilt (for the third time after the 2003 crash) as a Blenheim Mk1 with the snub nose.

Note also another Bolingbroke visible through the wind screen. This is probably Duxford's RCAF 10038/G-Mk.IV or RCAF 9893.


This is what G-BPIV looks like now (May 2010):

And this is where the forward fuselage came from: (Should have kept this pic for a 'Name This' thread...):

On the above photos all I'll say is that car is up there with the ugliest cars I've ever seen. If you ever saw that thing I don't think you would be able to get it out of you mind...

It would fit well with the Martin Mariner turned into a Houseboat.
