Flying the Blenheim is not too bad once you get the hang of it, and this is coming from someone who has no bomber experience. The semi-variable prop pitch fiddle (in technical terms you sort of jiggle it about near the coarse end) makes it very much easier since you can still get 1800-2000 rpm out of the engine without cooking it. I am unclear whether this is historical or not.
@Denis - so the sights work properly? I am constantly hitting short by a considerable margin but I think it could be that I am not in truly level flight. Difficult without autopilot or a stabiliser.
