I know the clipped wings had a purpose 60 years ago, but I think a Spitfire doesn’t look complete without the elliptical wing tip.

Monkey catching !!!!

I maybe able to get one off the DVD if that will help ?

Found this on a website, one question springs to mind, could a Havoc or Boston achieve 360 Mph at 60ft ?????

This spherical bomb was designed by the brilliant Dr. Barnes Wallis to be utilized against ships. Weighing 1,280 lb (580kg) and packed with 600 lb (272 kg) of explosive two Highballs could be carried by a Mosquito fighter-bomber. Prior to release the bomb was imparted with a backward spin of 700-900 revolutions per minute. Dropped at high speed 360 mph (580km/h) and low altitude 60 ft (18.2m) the Highball would skip across the water toward the target.

I’m convinced that it was an Invader, took the tail off and took the crew with it. I may be wrong about the type, but do recall it being an Invader.

I’ve got permission from the present MRSEN830, all we need now are the funds. This could be a first, a forum holiday !!!!!

This was taken from the NASA website:- http://www.hq.nasa.gov

July 24-August 3: German city of Hamburg subjected to a series of massive RAF attacks, totalling 3,000 planes, which exploited first use of “chaff” or “window” to saturate radar early warning and resulting in a severe “fire storm.”

So I would assume that the RAF used it first.

Does anyone have the TV Series the “Secret War” on video, I seem to recall one programme covering the use of radar and countermeasures.
