Use those Blenheim F1 fighters as night fighters. They don't shoot anything down anyway, but maybe they can disrupt attacks and not get shot down themselves!

I do, they have gotten few kills by day before but they really struggle to kill anything during night. Their top pilot has 4 kills, but those are all day kills...I am following with curiosity if he becomes an ace before Singapore is overrun...
