who was informed by his Flt CO that anything which stood in the way of their Blenheim's "tremendous fire-power" would in his opinion "fall apart like a rotten apple".
The Blenheim 1F's gun-pack had four machine-guns as opposed to a Spitfire's eight. Both the CO and Duke-Woolley would have known that. Sounds like a classic bit of management-speak!

Roger Morewood must be an amazing bloke, though. There can't be many pilots still around who started their careers in Gloster Gauntlets.
