NP mate and thanks for posting this, with luck and more people posting real world data we can get to a FM we can enjoy.

You guys are being really nice and i appreciate it. My first day back on the forums and you're really making an effort to eliminate any moderating workload, so thank you and let's get flying

The reasons I am so fixated on the Blennie are that I am primarily a ground pounder, and I primarily fly red. Though I will fly blue from time to time.

As such, the Blenheim is the only choice we have for ground attack.

Oh how I wish we had a flyable Beaufighter to counter the Bf 110.

Though the early war part of me still wants an Anson.

And no, I'm not normally suicidal...

Plenty of suicidal to go around with just the Blenheim if you ask me

I had made an offline mission before my hard drive crashed where i take off as wingman (i didn't want to aim the bombsight myself at that time) in a flight of 9 or so and we bomb an airfield near Calais. I placed some static 110s on the ramp, a few 88s and some light flak, set my flight's speed for 170-175mph or so (the approximate speed you get at +1 boost so that i stay withing the limits for auto lean mixture) and flight altitude was about 3000 feet or so.

The moment i reach the airfield in that mission all hell breaks loose and my heart sinks into my stomach

Btw, great video tutorial Jimbop

Hi,

Thank you for kind words about my web site. I have around 2000 manuals available from ww1 to present day. I should also have available in the next few weeks the AP Volume 1 for the Blenheim.

I also have a very personal attachment to the Blenheim as my Great-great-uncle was the CO of 105 Squadron RAF. He was also the only recipient of the Victoria Cross flying the Blenheim IV.

Best regards,

Matt Savage

Thanks for taking the time to stop in and relate the story of your family member's experience.

Thanks for making all these manuals accessable as well.

They fly Blenheim like me, very low (under power lines).
