Now why can't we spice up bombing a little by adding a couple of dams, a 5,000pound bouncing bomb, curtousy of Barnes Wallis, and some slightly modified lancasters from 617 Dam Buster sqaudron? Then all we need is a couple of buff pilots who enjoy charging along in four engined bombers at 40 feet above the ground at 275mph at night and we're away. Very unlikely to happen, but I thought I'd mention in and hope for the best.

A WW1 inventor was sent to Major Arthur Harris to discuss his knew anti zeppelin bombs which were dangled under the plane by a length of cord. "Why not dispense with the clothes-line and just drop the grenade?" Harris asked. To which the inventor agreed. "Just a minute," Harris said, "If you're going to drop it by itself wouldn't it be better to streamline it so it'll fall faster and more accurately?" Once again the inventor agreed. "Just a minute," said Harris as he pointed to his plane nearby. "What the hell d'you think those are under the wings?"
"those" were little anti zeppelin bombs.

Yeah and while you're there please give us a 'tallboy'
Although we did'nt have any dams to bust myself and my XO Dayo like to take our Lancs low and fast sometimes, on the way home we buzzed our own carrier fleet :)
