Thank you, I've mostly found out things by myself in the meantime, but still, useful info!
Regarding that 5-7 deg. offset: It's actually 10.11deg (west), as was stated in some patch notes by luthier. I cross-checked this value with an US geomagnetic Survey site and it's fairly accurate for 1940 england.
This means that, in order to account for magnetic declination (offset between geomagnetic north, which is what the mag. compass shows, and geographic north, which is used in maps), you have to set your gyro compass (as well as the daughter compass, if you want it to show true north) 10 deg. forward with respect to the magnetic compass - then, the 1-a-AP works correctly, at least for me.

Regarding fuel tanks: The switch to the right and the switch + gauge + lights on the front panel are not actually connected. The actual tank switch is to the right, of course, but you can independently check your fuel tank contents with the front switch. But both switches are not correctly correlated; see my first post - I believe B/R and B/L are the wrong way around on the (actual) tank selector switch.
