Daily Wail strikes again “Barnes Wallace” for goodness sake.
I guess the readers have ADD? The report repeats itself numerous times. Just how many times do we have to be told:
Sir Barnes Wallace carried out tests on bouncing bomb at Manston Airport
Location is now called Kent’s International Airport and used by KLM planes
Dambusters ace Sir Barnes Wallace carried out tests on the revolutionary bouncing bomb during the Second World War –
which is now called Kent’s International Airport and operated from by Dutch airline KLM,
Coastal location: Manston Airport, near Margate, Kent – where Dambusters ace Sir Barnes Wallace carried out tests on the revolutionary bouncing bomb during the Second World War – has been sold for just £1
In flight: The location, which is now called Kent’s International Airport and operated from by Dutch airline KLM, was used in 1943 to test the bomb before it was used in the raid on Germany’s Ruhr valley
Barnes Wallace (pictured in 1945) used the base to test his bouncing bomb on the coast at nearby Reculver prior to the Dambusters raid in 1943 during the Second World War
Manston Airport was later renamed Kent’s International Airport and is pictured here in May 1989

First time I flew to the UK, now more then 10 years ago. Piper from Ursel (Belgium) to Manston, visit the museum, and back to Ursel! Was amazed when I first saw the runway.
