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. |
