My sort of humour

Yes it was true of the "Wimpy" because of it's Barnes Wallis designed frame. My Stirling remarks were made "tongue in cheek" . It was also true of the Mozzie.; 4 x 500 lb. bombs equalled the Fortress's 2,000lb load but the terrific feat of decimating the power of the Luftwaffe before D.Day more than made up for the difference in performance. That 11 man crew did wonders in shooting down so many of Hitler's fighters. It's influence on the Allies success with the Normandy landings cannot be forgotten. Regle.
