My Collins/Janes WWII Aircraft pocket guide mentions a Bolingbroke edition of the Blenheim that was built under license in Canada and sold to 8 different countries. I'm hoping someone here might know something about it; such as was it comparable to the original Blenheim or the MK IV? I'm also curious if any of the RCAF airmen in the early years of the war flew in squadrons featuring them? I'm a Canuck, so knowing more about it would get me more enthused about flying one in Blitz.
On a more personal note, I had an uncle that was KIA over the Irish sea in the early years of the war while serving as a bombadier on a light bomber. The local newspapers (apparently due to the vagueness of the release from RCAF command) never did specify the exact type of aircraft. So whether the Bolingbroke-Blenheim was a bomber Canadian airmen might have been serving on in the early years, holds some particular interest for me.
