Re: blenheim IV with nose 20mm & wing RP's

Hi.
15 Sqdrn SAAF used some Blenheim Mk IVF's with a 20mm fitted in the nose to protrude from the right sided glass segment of the nose.
I have tried to find out the mechanism of how it was secured on the inside of the nose but have never seen any reference to this in all the documents pertaining to 15 sqdrn,despite a lot of research.
I have also contacted The Blenheim Society in the UK and they also have no info.I know they were sent to the Repair Units in Egypt to have it fitted.
There is no way to predict which serial no's had the 20mm but I have a few photo's of them.
If you have a drawing of how they were fitted I will be most gratefull as I am about 80% done with our book on 15 Sqdrn.
Regards
