Still looking for advanced infos on the blenheim bombsight (Mk IX course-setting bombsight) and on the fuzes, so consider this a shameless bump!
Besides that, the "one bomb just falls out on opening the bomb bay doors" - issue still bugs me. I should have a serious word with my ground crew.
The explanation phoenix gave to that just adds to my confusion
P.S.: Addendum to my T/O procedure above: Now that I've got the drill of getting the Blenheim into the air down, I've become somewhat more cautious with using the boost cut-out for add. manifold pressure on take-off. If you've got a well-built runway, like that one where the blen's spawn on syndicate, it's very possible to take off without engaging the boost cut-out. As mentioned, it's really,
really easy to blow your engines with that, so just skip that step for additional safety. Just don't forget to disengage carburetor heaters after your engines run smoothly; re-engage them if you go above 5500ft.
P.P.S.: I'm really scared of sparking another 'octane war', but.. has somebody tested if boost c/o operation is safer when feeding from the outer tanks (which, presumably, are filled with 100oct. fuel)?
I haven't yet tested that, but maybe someone has... I see a certain possibility that this is indeed the case
