    Wow! Great training film.
    It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal the
    neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

    Great clip, thanks for posting.
    Downloaded and saved into my library.

    I wonder now why the bombs were stored with the tail pistols in place already. Were there so few variations/demand that the no28 or no30 were considered to be the standard?

    Also a good one on the detonator gauges. Would not like to have a det stuck half way in.

    How did you download it? I wouldn't mind having a hard copy in my drive

    Just use Mozilla Firefox and install the downloadhelper add-on. Works easy.

    For those who are interested - the main star of the film is WS-R a Vickers Wellington IC of RAF 9 Squadron. At the time based at RAF Honnington. Unlike the rest of the squadron, it appears this aircraft survived until the Squadron converted to Lancasters in late '42. 9 Squadron were responsible for the 'Tallboy' attack on the Tirpitz.
