Blenheim bomber, Thistlegorm
The Blenheim bomber parts on the Thistloegorm had been overlooked for years by divers more interested in trucks and motor cycles. Exhaust rings from the Blenheim’s Bristol Mercury engines are identifiable because of the second exhaust. The gallery contains tailplanes of Blenheim on SS Thistlegorm, taken by Steve Cain. On one image. a Trolley Accumulator can been seen lying under the tails planes, with the plug just visible.
