Description: Bristol Blenheim MkIV R2782 T8-J, No.771 NAS, Fleet Air Arm, Royal Navy, Orkneys, early 1943
No.771 NAS was formed on 24 May 1939 at Lee-on-Solent as a Fleet Requirements Unit with 14 Fairey Swordfish TSR biplanes. The Squadron carried out various exercises with ships and provided towed targets for naval air gunners.After the outbreak of war, 771 NAS was based at RNAS Hatston, but in fact was spread throughout the UK and overseas. The squadron flew a huge variety of different aircraft of every imaginable sort, from monoplane fighters such as Hurricanes, Corsairs, Martlets and Seafires, through seaplanes such as Walruses and Sea Otters to twin-engined landplanes such as Mosquitos, Bostons, Marylands and Blenheims. Predictably, the precise dates when the squadron included Blenheim IVs into its menagerie are somewhat unclear, but it appears that they were used up until the end of the war.
This aircraft appears in the menu under Britain FAA.
