Now this will be a sight well worth seeing :sunny:
A World War Two plane, based on a Bristol Blenheim and left to rot in the Californian desert, is to be rebuilt by enthusiasts.
The Canadian plane, called the Bolingbroke, was used to hunt U boats and Japanese submarines.
It was brought back from the US by Bristol Aero Collection who are now reconstructing it in the same hangar where Concorde was built. Retired aircraft engineer David Bradley said it was a "labour of love".
