You're Top Poster: #20   | RCAF Bolingbroke Bomber: Restoration of IDA Saw this in the Toronto Sun yesterday and thought some of the air force enthusiasts might have an interest. I have never heard of this plane. There is a story of the IODE group here. The Hamilton Spectator also had a story about IDA and included a photograph.

You're Top Poster: #1  | Nice one Richard. And the Bolingbroke was the name given to the Canadian built Bristol Blenheim IV

You're Top Poster: #14  | That'd be great if they got three of the Bollingbrokes flying again. Maybe they could preform at airshows?
