You should have most of the info in those data files I send you from time-to-time. But I have included some details below...
: I noticed them, do you know the serial number of that airc
: raft, I have info on three A/C at CWH.
Model: Bristol (Fairchild) 149 Mk IVW Bolingbroke

Owner: Canadian Warplane Heritage
History: Mk IVT 10040 RCAF TOS (1942/12/10), SOS (1946/5/15), restored as a Mk IVW
Notes: 10040 is being restored with components from eight airframes obtained from a farm in Manitoba, including RCAF serials 9889, 9937, 9981, 10117, 10184 and 10040. Unfortunately a fire at the museum on the 15 February 1993 destroyed six of the airframes not including the centre piece 10040. It is being restored as a Mk IVW which used Pratt and Whitney engines, and when the restoration is complete 10040 will be painted in the colours of the 119 Tiger Squadron of the RCAF Coastal Command.
