In article , Stolly stolly@ihatespa
m.stolly.org.uk writes It was recorded on a disk not tape. If you are convinced it is not real then you are also convinced that A. The picture of them stood outside the aircraft is faked. B. They faked it in less than 12 hours since it was broadcast later the same day. C The BBC and Imperial War Museum, to this day, are in on the conspiracy. D. 207 Squadron Association are also in on the conspiracy since the had a renunion in 1983 and invited the BBC reporter there as reported here http://www.207squadron.rafinfo.org.uk/default.htm . They got together 40 years later for the express purpose of remembering the recording and broadcasting of this recording. Are you REALLY suggesting that they got together 40 years later to remember something that never happened ? Seriously you are ignoring all the above in favour of not believing that the BBC knew how to filter noise. They were a world class broadcasting service. You would certainly imagine they had sound engineers that knew what they were doing. I have the whole 40 minute recording from the IWM sound archive. I payed £20 for it. Are you saying that I should report the Imperial War Museum for commiting fraud in that they are knowingly selling faked recordings ? Or perhaps a museum with a international reputation has been duped themselves and that you know better based on a hunch that the engines are not loud enough ? SNIP of MJP points Out of respect for your 20.00 worth of drinking vouchers, I will take a look at all the recordings on your site, but as I mentioned in an earlier part of this thread, the beef with the sound quality is only part of it, the actual words recorded don't add up to a real-time recording of a Lanc aircrew on a bomb run. 1. The pilot is instructed to keep weaving after the navigator has announced half a minute to go before bomb drop (and before the fighter puts in an appearance). If the bomb aimer were staring through the bomb sight stabilisation glass at that time, to get a straight run in on the target, the last thing he would have wanted was a weave. And just who is asking for the weave? Usually such a command was only given by a gunner who had definitely seen a fighter - not the case at that time. Then the pilot is told to steer 'left, left' - such a precise order would not be given by the bomb aimer until the pilot had been told to stop any weaving. 2. Then the pilot asks for more revs. Why - just at the time the bomb aimer needs constant speed maintained for his bomb sight predicting computer? This doesn't feel quite right. 3. Finally, the pilot is instructed to weave again at a time when the bomber should have been flying straight and level for the post-drop picture to be taken, and before the night fighter is sighted. 4. And did they really put a mike in the rear turret to record the sound of the Brownings? The bombing sequence has the feel of jargon being bunged in by a script writer who did not know the true sequence of events before and after a bomb release. Cheers, Dave -- Dave Eadsforth |
