Anyone got an idea what this Blenheim is carrying. Is it just an overload of bombs with the bomb bay doors removed. When I first saw it I thought it was an F1 version with the 4 x .303s

 
It's a B.Mk1, and as the bomb bay was very 'shallow', and the spring-loaded wooden doors were in four sections, two each side, it was common to remove the doors when newer, larger bombs were loaded, in this instance what appear to be 250lb examples. The aircraft was designed when existing stocks of bombs were either first World war surplus, or still of smaller size and weight.
 

I thought the Blenheim only carried 1,000 pounds of bombs if they are 250 pounders then its carrying what looks like at least 5 possibly more. Played about with the original but it doesnt have enough detail to see better.

 
Eva Braun, later Mrs. Hitler for some 30 hours, rowing. Eva loved the outdoors and, unlike Hitler, was very much into physical exercise.
