ARMAMENT

I have just obtained a copy of the No. 35 Squadron Record Book, which I now need to work through so that I can put all the bits of the jigsaw together.

A very quick look through shows that the 1000lb bomb was referred to as either "Retarded", "Ballistic" or "Short Look Attack"

I have currently identified the following types being utilised for exercises:

- No. 2 MKIII 25lb
- No 1 MKI and MKII 28lb
- MKII Tail Unit Type 117 1000lb
- MK6 Tail Unit 1000lb
- Type 107 (Short Look Attack) 1000lb

Hopefully, now that I have the ORB, your feedback and the various cross references that you have supplied, I will be able to make sense of it all.

Regards

Pete
