PR7 Range

Having not flown a PR3 or 7 since 1961 my memories are hazy at best! However, with the front 1/2 of the bomb bay converted to an extra fuel tank it certainly went further than the bomber. It is not clear whether figures being mentioned include the use of wing tip tanks. However, the figures I have found for range are 1000 miles and 2000 miles! This seems to me to be 1000 miles out and back or 2000 miles A to B.
