"Peter Stickney" wrote in message ... In article , "Keith Willshaw" writes: "ArtKramr" wrote in message ... How exactly did they aim the bombs? The British A-2 bombsight. The Mosquitos of no 2 Group usually used the Mk III Low-Level bomb sight which was designed for use below 1000ft and mostly used by coastal command According to the copy of the orders at the Bomber COmmand link you posted above, Keith, teh bombers were all FB Mk VIs. (SOlid-nose Fighter bombers). Keith seldom reads and understands his own URLs. That would suggest that they used standard WW2 fighter-bomber techniques - Reflector sight, with a depressed reticle if possible, and use of the Pilot's 4 lb (1.7 Kilo) Meat Computer to process TLAR information. (TLAR = That Looks About Right). Art is right on again? Does Keith live in a pickle barrel?
