I have run into some information on Wellingtons loaded with the famous RAF 4000 lb 'cookie' demolition bomb. Wonder if the Tobruk Expansion will model it? @Buzzsaw

The photo below from IWM was taken in Tunisia.

Also there's a raw footage from Pathe showing the loading process (with random sequence though)

No, this was not introduced in the time period of module.

 

We are adding 1000 and 2000 lb bombs.

The RAF used to do both. Or at least, they sometimes dropped beer bottles on the Germans. Though the liquid in them wasn't beer...

 

As for cookie-equipped Wellingtons, they were a thing, but not in regular service. They had to be specially modified to use them, since the cookie protruded considerably from the bomb bay. Some useful links here:
