Re: Placing the Fairey Battle.
At least Polish 300 and 301 Sqn flew Battles on night missions against Channel targets, but I suppose those turned ineffective, as they quickly converted to Wellingtons. Battle was a descendant of an old concept of light bomber/scout aircraft which were eg. predominant in French air force - see Potez XV/XXV and Breguet XIX. This was an aircraft outdated from the beginning. Concerning Typhoon - yes it was outdated as well. Airfoil used is not the thing that should have taken place. They have realised that and build Tempest, but too late.
