I have tracked down and interviewed ~2 dozen Mosquito airmen and
read most of the available works about them - first I have heard
this. One hundred knots over the target would have been absolute
suicide.

TV strikes again; within a couple of years, folks will all "agree"
that this was a fact. :\


A dozen agincourt longbowmen with fire arrows could have brought down
the wooden wonder at that speed.

How exactly did they aim the bombs?

We'd just had a documentary about it on Channel 5 in the UK, just last week.
The narrator said they just used their judgement.

I can't remember whether I recorded it but I'll look through my tapes to
check,
