Remember doing a trial with a GAF 104 to clear the use of 1000lb bomb with the retarding tail fitted, Pilot briefed to drop at 275' +/- 25', actual release hieght? 100' pilots comment was that he hadn't noticed that the surface was undulating at the release point

And before anyone asks the height was deduced from kine data, the bomb was inert, so no real danger.
