Dam busters or bouncing bomb

poor guy at :44

The ship is the ageing Queen Elizabeth-class 15in gun battleship HMS Malaya. The Highball tests were done in February 1944 on Loch Long, hence the mountains - something Fenland isn't known for. HMS Malaya suffered some damage.

i laughed when the bomb bounced up and hit the plane. Then i realized someone may have died... oops

Looks big enough to be a battleship

Thanks, but does anyone know the name of the ship?

If i told you that it was a mocked up ship, would you believe me?
No ship could actually sail up to where the bombing range is because of the Fenland, only flat bottom barges can travel there. It was a mock up of a battleship,

Also the Dambusters also practised at Gib Point in Skegness (where the bomb bounces ashore)

I'm intrigued, looks rather hilly for the fens. Any more info please let me know.

They also practised in Yorkshire. Also they were based at Woodhall Spa in Lincs near the Lincolnshire Wolds

Looked at Wainfleet and it seems pretty flat! do not think Highball film is there.
