Johnnie Walker mines

[jeffmorgan]

Hi All, I have been trying to attain information with regards the Johnnie Walker mine, I know that they were dropped on the battleship Tirpitz up in northern Norway late in the war, not sure if they were successful in any way?

The information I would like to have a look at, is the function of the mine, I understand that they were deployed with the use of a small drogue parachute and dropped as close to the target as possible but after that not sure what then
happened? I would appreciate if someone could help with this request



the last time I was on your forum, I was seeking information on the bouncing bomb [Upkeep] release mechanism and your response was excellent.



Cheers, Jeff Lloyd
