It's a LOT of work to make all those bombers flyable.
I'd just be happy with a flyable Blenheim since it could double duty with both the Finns and UK/Commonwealth forces. Of all the British medium bombers in the game, it was probably the most ubiquitous.

The D.520 is on my short list of fighters to be added to the game. Given that it was used in limited numbers by the Italians, and was used by the Vichy French in North Africa, it would be a nice addition to a Mediterranean campaign.

You're in luck! There's alrelady an AI Swordfish I in the game.
But, a flyable Swordfish would be another great addition to a Mediterranean campaign. It also saw some service in the English Channel, notably during the "Channel Dash." There's also that little incident with the German battleship . . .
And, if TD wanted to do a quick and easy upgrade, they could add the Mk.II (early) Swordfish to the game. The main difference between the Mk. I and early versions of the Mk. II Swordfish was that the latter had metal reinforcements on the lower wing so it could carry rockets and the inner bomb racks were removed. Later versions of the Mk.II added a more powerful engine with slightly enlarged oil cooler and extended flame-dampening exhausts, as well as greater overall mass.
The Mk.II, as well as later war versions of the Mk. I also were fitted with ASV radar - with antennae fitted below the lower wing or onto the wing bracing wires.
