IIRC they tried radio-controlled bombers (obsolete marks of B17 rings
a bell) on the ski-sites?

This was used against the V2 underground factory, as I recall.
"Operation Aphrodite" killed JFK's older brother, Joe Kennedy Jr.

IIRC Joe was killed in a remote controlled B24 Liberator during August
1944, flying from Wingfarthing-Fersfield in Norfolk and the intended
target was a suspected rocket launching site in Heligoland.

Using such against a ski ramp would be like using a M60 to kill a
fly....

Ski ramp? The ski sites took their name from the large concrete
ski-shaped bunkers used to store V1s. Those were the intended
targets.
