The Bristol Blenheim was a British light bomber aircraft designed and built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company that was used extensively in the early days of the Second World War. It was later adapted into a successful long-range and night fighter. It was one of the first British aircraft to have all-metal stressed-skin construction, to utilise retractable landing gear, flaps, powered gun turret and variable pitch propellers. A Canadian-built variant named the Bolingbroke was used as an anti-submarine and training aircraft.

One of my friends- whose father was shot down over Eritrea in a Blenheim in 1940 has dived this wreck. He said the local diver who took him down later had a vivid dream in which the plane's pilot featured and said to him "Why don't you just eff off and leave me in peace- I'm sick of all you people disturbing me" or something like that- so he resolved not to visit the plane again! I imagine others are quite happy to go down but don't have the dream- not yet!
