Falklands - Bomb Fusing

We all know about the early Argentine bomb failures attributed to excessive fusing delays, delays which undoubtedly saved a number of RN ships from destruction, but were the timing specifics ever revealed. What fusing delay did they start with and what did they finally reduce it to ?

If you’re coming in at 400 knots and 60ft and release at 300 yards you’re playing with what, 2 seconds ?

Anyone have the full story.
