  A while ago, I saw video footage of a bomb being released from a 
  fighter-bomber under test conditions. It was on an aviation 
  documentary. The high speed camera then shows it climb up and destroy 
  the tailplane. I don't think they quite got their trajectory calcs 
  right! 
 
 This shows up towards the end of a documentary called Dambusters, which 
 has been seen on UKs Channel 4. 
 
The Lanc may have had guns, but that doesn't make it a fighter-bomber. 
 
That said, without the "fighter-" qualification (and substituting 
"damage" for "destroy"), the description does indeed suggest the old 
Bouncing Bomb trials.
