Re: A miss is pretty obvious, no matter the apparatus

During the War (don't mention the war!), my father was an His Majesty's Inspector at a large armaments company based on the north side of Clapham Common. Their Research Department was tasked with developing a sighting mechanism that would enable Barnes Wallis's Bouncing Bomb to be dropped accurately over the German dams. It ended up as three pieces of plywood and a length of broomstick, with four nails driven into the plywood to indicate the correct drop point when used to sight on the towers on the dams. In retaliation, Gerry came over and bombed the shit out of Clapham, so production was moved to a satellite factory near Barnet.
