been on radio 2 all day today,gave a bit of an insight as to what they had to do , flying a lancaster bomber at 60 feet above the ground for 10 hrs, some flew so low the actual bomb dislodged on the sea , the boms rotated anti clockwise when they left the plane so when they hit the dam they would roll down the wall and explode scary stuff, chocs away n al that

Pretty clever & would have to be precise!
let alone when the have deployed the bomb they would of had to of pulled up quick
