The remains of a number of Bolingbrokes are in the Museum restoration compound, most in a worse condition than this one. From an aviation historian - I visited St Andrews in 2014 and was given a guided tour of the WCAM storage compound. The person who showed me around was the same person who dragged this Bolingbroke out of a farm at Roblin, Manitoba in August 1981. When I asked him recently to confirm its identity he advised me that it was RCAF S/N 10182. RCAF S/N 9869 is also in the WCAM compound but is substantially more complete then 10182, i.e. with stub wings and engines. 9869 is still visible on it.
