Birkenhead is opposite Liverpool,
then they see the large cathedral tower
and then the convoy docks are beneath.
Birkenhead is part of the Mersey
dock complex and was also heavily bombed.

If they can see those things then the lights of Dublin are
indeed irrelevant,

You are very bright are you? The lights of Dublin guided the bombers to
Liverpool, the tower told them they were there.

note while the Anglican cathedral was
started in 1904 it wasnt completed intil 1960

Competed in 1979 with its work force off to New York to work at St. John's.
The tower was complete in the 1920-30s

so I suspect the highly visible waterfront
was rather more of a clue at night.

The tower was the giveaway.

Fact is Luftwaffe bases were in Norway and France, they werent
about to fly across the entire width of England, cross the Irish Sea
and then come back again. Its just silly.

You obviously don't know. German bases were well into France and they
flew
up the Irish Sea to get Liverpool, Belfast and Glasgow.

Indeed which meant turning right and following the coast of Walese
not turning left to Ireland.

Go away! You don't say. You figured that one out!

The Norwegian based
planes would go across the North Sea.

A route that hardly goes via Dublin

You figured that one out too! You are hard of thinking.

So do you believe they could see the tower from Dublin ?

No lights needed then

Better than some it seems.

Every morning when I shave, something you

Not that anyone's paying attention to the subject line anymore, but there's a
fascinating exchange about it in the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, November
1987. pp42-45.
Barton J. Bernstein wrote an article describing "Churchill's Secret Biological
Weapons" in the January/February issue. A response appeared from R.V. Jones and
J.M. Lewis. Jones was head of Scientific Intelligence at the Air Ministry; a
pioneer in the field, if not THE pioneer. He politely but carefully
demonstrated Bernstein's near complete misunderstanding and misuse of the
available information on the subject.
Bernstein's response was the kind of bluster that undergraduates are used to
from tenured professers, and that graduate students are used to hearing from
unprepared lecturers caught out.
In short, anthrax was researched as a possible threat from the enemy and as a
retaliatory weapon in case of attack. There were no plans to use it as an
offensive or "terror" weapon--that's what Bomber Command was for.
The opinion seems to have been that it was like poison gas--difficult to
control and nearly as great a danger to one's own troops as it was to the
enemy. That stocks of gas were kept on hand near all the fronts, but never
used, shows that it was a retaliatory weapon for attacks that never came. Like
anthrax.
