I did, once, on syndicate. However, I didn't run into enemy aircraft - an escort or a formation is required for fighter defense anyways, even if all works properly. It's just bomber vs. fighter, that's never fair.
One additional drawback, though: On syndicate, you take off from Littlestone and your parking position is fairly close to the runway. So I didn't bother taxiing and pushed the throttle forward from the parking position, ending up on the runway at 40-50mph.
If I had taxied, I'd look at an additional wait time of 3 minutes plus just to cool the engines again in order to avoid blowing them on subsequent takeoff.
So yeah, the temperature models on the blenheim are pretty much crap. But this is CoD

P.S.: Oh, and I bombed an empty airfield...
