A great article in the "Mail on Sunday" Live magazine about an RAF Pilot, Sdn Ldr Jon Killerby who will shortly be ending his three year exchange detachment flying the B-2. Bomber. To see the article Google "Britains new Bomber Command".

A thing of beauty and a beast - awesome airpower and no doubt a tour of a lifetime for our ever fewer guys and girls to put their hands up for! :cool:

Interesting to read about the "Massive Ordnance Penetrator" 30,000 lb bomb. Sounds like somebody's been listening to Sir Barnes Wallis, and added some accurate terminal guidance; although some of the films I've seen of the 20,000lb Grand Slam being dropped showed that great accuracy could be attained back in the days of the Lancaster!

"Britains new Bomber Command".

I remember when Bomber Command meant we had hundreds of bombers, not one person in command of one bomber.

them were t'days lad.
