I've found very different data as for how many Blenheim were produced in England: Blenheim Mk I: 1236, 1280, 1330 or 1390 (in article is 1351), Mk IV: 3297, 3122 or 3162 (in article is 3307). Pibwl 21:56, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
Shouldn't the article include something on Blenheim survivors? After all, the accompanying photograph is dated 2001 ! 84.130.93.233 13:50, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Inaccurate details The article is quite inaccurate in its discussion of the design, development and armament of the aircraft. A few examples:
1. The Type 135 civil twin design was on Bristol drawing boards by Jul 1933.
2. That design was brought to Rothermere's attention in early 1934, not the other way around.
2. The first flight was in April 1935, not in 1934.
3. The fixed fwd firing gun was outboard of the port engine, not in the wing root.
and so on. Extensive redrafting of this article is required, from sound source material. I don't have time to attempt that at present. Don Clark 21:48, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
