In 1934, a Bristol Mercury-engined version of the Bristol Type 135 cabin monoplane was ordered by Lord Rothermere for his own use as part of a campaign to popularise commercial aviation. First flying in 1935, the Type 135 caused interest in the Air Ministry because its top speed of 307mph was higher than that of any RAF fighter in service at the time. Lord Rothermere, a close friend of Winston Churchill presented the aircraft (named `Britain First`) to the nation for evaluation as a bomber and in early 1936 the modified design was taken into production as the Bristol Blenheim Mk.I.
