The Aircraft Restoration Company (art work by Micheal Turner)

The Aircraft Restoration Company


With a workforce of 15 full time engineers and CAA approvals in M3, M5, B1 and E4 the throughput of work is impressive.

This renowned Company grew directly from the small but dedicated team that restored the two derelict wartime Bristol ‘Blenheim’ aircraft to an airworthy condition at Duxford Airfield.

Lead by Chief Engineer, John Romain, they have also completed many other outstanding restorations, both flying and static, for other Museums, Collections and private owners.

The length and depth of their experience in such major restorations is unsurpassed in Europe - the first airworthy ‘Blenheim’ was rebuilt from virtual scrap over a twelve year period, only to be destroyed within a month of completion whilst the second ‘Blenheim’ was rebuilt to flying condition in just five years from starting all over again with another derelict airframe. Both of the airframes, all the systems and the four supercharged Bristol Mercury engines were rebuilt entirely ‘in-house’ by the highly skilled team. Both the flying ‘Blenheims’ were greatly admired for the very high standard of workmanship and the close attention to detail in achieving complete authenticity.
