Well, i don't want to bring you down mate but i think all the main RAF bombers, at least until quite late in the war, used devices similar to the one fitted to the Blenheim.

Meaning, the only thing that will probably change if we get a Wellington is the available payload and maybe a more stable (and more sluggish) platform
