Blenheim attacks submarine

Anyone any idea what is being passed to the gunner before take off? I don't think it's a spare Browning barrel.

It looks like two spare barrels if you watch closely.

Those are spare barrels alright. Good eye.

did u all know that the germans also udsed blenheim during the war in finland, these planes was sold to finland "suomi" in the 30s also a number of other english planes was used by the germnas and the finnish like hurricane some seaplnes and divebombers unbeliveble rigth. a hurricane with svasticas during the war.

Wrong. The Finns used Blenheims, not Germans. Finns even built most of the Blenheims used there. And the swastika that was the FAF emblem those days, was not the same, as the German swastika. Finns used swastikas in FAF-planes since the beginning of the century, it was the personal emblem on Swedish count Von Rosen, who donated the first aeroplane to Finnish army in 1918 with a swastika painted in it.

They were cutting edge when they first flew - the RAF had only just introduced their first fighter with a fully enclosed cockpit (and even that was a biplane). These were the days when if aircrew were a bit cold, they had to put on another lawyer of underwear.

perfect shoot!

Nice video!

I like the way the pilots using the controls at 1:51.... Looks like he's on a pedal bike. lol

Thanks for posting. They rebuilt one to flying condition some years ago at Duxford, Cambridgeshire. Unfortunatley after a few flights iit crashed.
