I daresay the positioning of relief tube and Gosport mouthpiece on the front of the Blenheim's Mercury engines must've made their use during flight a challenge.

How ever did RAF crews manage to differentiate between the two during the confusion of combat?

Such lovely photos, thank you for sharing, Peter!

As it's my favourite model it's so, so nice to see so many Mk.Vs together.
