Description
Bristol Blenheim – Night Fighter
It very quickly became apparent at the start of WW2 that the Blenheim aircraft was seriously outdated as a bomber aircraft. The Luftwaffe bombing raids had quickly shown the need for a night fighter and the Blenheim was modified to fill the requirement until new designs could come into service. Fitted with a very elementary airborne radar and a ventral gunpack the Blenheim proved to be a worthy night fighter gaining several successes during the 1940 Luftwaffe raids.
The image shows a Blenheim of 23 Sqdn turning onto the Luftwaffe bomber stream during a moonlit night action.
