LOL! Yep, but being british they pronouced it 'nigga'. The damnbusters were the first homies.

Sigh, ah the good old days. Where racism was right out there in patriotic war movies.

Post by: bounder on January 23, 2003, 03:59:52 AM: Dam Busters used to practice near me, on the local resevoir (long before I was born tho.) Even have a pub or two named after them (the 617th).

Now, some Barnes Wallis Ordnance would be a welcome addition to AH weaponry - Oooh, a 12,000lb bomb ooooh oooh :p

He (wallis) also invented a ball shaped bouncing bomb for use on land, dropped from mossies i think (David McCallum flew one and dropped them in some film or another - anyone?). It was designed to breach walls by impacting laterally rather than vertically. Not quite as successful though...
