Following the Philstyle's question in another thread I decided to make and post the result of my test concerning the Blenheim speed at sea level in the current state of CloD.
I tried to make this as accurate and impartial as possible, same altitude no slip, no vertical movement.

EDIT: 30% of fuel

1. 400ft, Full throttle, Prop pitch "coarse", Cowl flaps 25%, Boost: OFF, Bombs onboard
230mph (labeled as 220)

2. 400ft, Full throttle, Prop pitch "coarse", Cowl flaps 25% Boost: ON, Bombs onboard

It can be a bit of a struggle to keep up with the Blenheim's if you escort them in a Hurricane!
