WWII Bomb

If there is anything better than "Bombing Up", it's bombing down!

I like the dog supervising!
 

From the twin tail wheels and that split bomb bay it can only be a Short Stirling. :)

The two lumps being hoisted in appear to be High Capacity bombs of some type.
From the main body and nose they are similar to the HC 4000lb Mk.I, but seem to be too short in relation to their diameter.

The numerous Small Bomb Containers on the bomb trollies would be expected to contain 4lb incendiaries to complement the HC load.

All the best,
PB
