Back now
to save answering each question they're all wrong. Time the shopping to coincide with the end of afternoon prayers. Not so busy.

Not Taurus, not Hercules

y had Taurus engines in one version
x had Mercurys

Specs wrong too not a pure bomber spec.

Bargains irresistible!!

Figure out what x and y were!!

Ok, y is Bristol Beaufort

So, is it 149?
Edit: I wrongly assumed that, since he said "x and y entered service", it didn't...

If it's what I think it might be, only 18 were built.

Is that correct?

Canadian?

So it was what I thought.

I found it as the Bolingbrook, hence my previous questions.

The Bolingbroke was merely Canadian produced Blenheim IV's

The Bisley was the Type 160 later re-named to Blenheim V

Thanks buttrick!
