Correct, i mapped this to shift ~ , so that i can easily reselect everything after pressing shift F1, I, shift F2, I.

This is with full left trim already dialled in, and tapping the brakes just means I lose too much speed.
Should the boost lever be in the 'down for on' position for take-off?
Edit: Maybe the idea is to taxi to the other end of the runway and turn, so that the crosswind helps instead of hinders. Will try later!

I find the Blenheim's engines a bit fragile at continued high boost settings, so i try not to use the extra boost. I'm having trouble with that mission too, but in other missions (for example, the one named phoney war that another user uploaded in this forum for us) i have no problem at all.
That being said, after i first managed to get the Blenheim airborne in the cross country mission i upped the ante and i'm trying to do it with four 250lb bombs loaded. I haven't managed that one yet, so i'm going to try out your idea and take off in the opposite direction.
