Revised HM releases for January 2015.

Hobby Master has released a revised January 2015 poster. It would appear that the 1/48 Hawker Hurricanes have been replaced by the 1/48 scale P-47D Thunderbolt "Little Chief" and a P-51B of the "Blue Nosed Barstards".

She flies! Bristol Blenheim Mk.I L6739 takes to the skies at IWM Duxford.

Thursday, 20 November 2014 saw the long-anticipated return to flight of the Aircraft Restoration Company’s Bristol Blenheim Mk.I L6739 (G-BPIV) at IWM Duxford following a long-term restoration of more than a decade.  Elliott Marsh writes for GAR.

It would be fair to call the Bristol Blenheim’s first post-restoration flight one of the most eagerly anticipated and important events on the European historic aviation circuit this year.  After taxi trials on Wednesday, 19 November 2014, John Romain (accompanied by John Gilmore) flew the Blenheim from its Duxford base on Thursday, 20 November 2014, carrying out a 20 minute test flight 1520.
