Is anyone level bombing in the HE-111?

Yes, that's correct. I don't want to get hung up on the KPH-MPH conversion aspect either. It just seems to work but it could be for other reasons.

So, you can be looking through the sight, keep the button pressed to see your airpeed and altitude gauges, release the button to go back to the crosshairs and correct your bombsight alt and speed as needed.

Fantastic! I didn't realise this and it is a huge help. Regarding the rest, I'm not sure about how to correct for drift. Obviously you can adjust the sight left and right but knowing how much to adjust is beyond me at the moment. Possibly we need weather tools before we can do this? In the Blenheim you get a tooltip readout for the side slip but I don't think you get this is the HE-111.
