So, given the safety speed for a loaded Mossie, I suspect the speed for
the attack could not have been less than 200 mph, and at that speed a
2.5 sec delay would have placed the Mosquito 730 feet away - a distance
of under 250 yards; probably too close for comfort,


Not to mention, the Jericho Raiders bombed in trail formation - the first guy's
bombs would have gone up in everyone else's faces at 120 knots. Bad form.
