Has anyone able to share the performance chart of power vs altitude for the Merlin 114, and the fuel consumption data?

I was able to obtain the international rating power figures for MS and FS from the manual in this post: RR Merlin 2-stage (manual) Thanks Tomo

I was wondering about the question of the Lancaster flying from Tinian to Hiroshima with a 9700 lb bomb. I calculated the e and f for the Lancaster III and found that it was not possible with a single stage Merlin. With the Merlin 85 it was better but still not quite feasible. I think the Merlin 114 may just make it possible, with the climbing and descending makes a significant difference - hence the need to calculate an accurate profile.

Thanks in advance.
