Re: blenheim IV with nose 20mm & wing RP's
IIRC, there was a 20mm cannon in the nose of the (South African?)Blenheim found in the desert in the 60s(?). This seems to have been a local fit. It reminds me of the 20mm cannon in the nose of Ju88s and He 111s on low-level shipping strikes or ground strafing.
I don't recall any use of Blenheims with rockets - the type was out of frontline service in Europe before rockets were introduced. Although there seems no reason to rule out the idea of a test aircraft, equally there seems no reason to choose a Blenheim for such tests.
