Hi Andy,
Any chance of posting a photo, I am having trouble visualizing it in relation to the size of the MG fairing.
Did the bomb doors open with the fairing still attached ?
Did the groundcrew load from inside the aircraft ?
Or did just the outer doors open ? and the ground crew work throu' these from outside.
cheers
Jerry

P.S
attached only photo I found from warpaint blenheim
