Bombing Up during WII

Great film ,this is the one i mentioned when Butterfly posted some Detonator gauges.

Cheers ,

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.
 
Very informative,and it answers lots of questions,thanks for posting the film,

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