I suspect so but Brown didn't make it quite clear. Even Wallis didn't think the Sorpe could be breached. Here's the recon photo of the damage to the Sorpe - appears amazingly that both McCarthy and Brown hit about the same place. I wonder what altitude they dropped it from because if it exploded on contact I would have thought it would have taken the AC with it at 60 feet.
