  • @buidseach It is historical record that they were flying at 60ft. If they were any lower than that you are quite right it would bounce back into the plane. There is some footage of that happening in a few of the documentaries that have been made about this.

  • If a Lanc came over my house at 50 ft. I would'nt be happy. I would want to know why they were'nt at 20.

  • @MrColin1832 ......and any government policy you diddnt agree with answered by a knock at the door; "Herr Colin? Kommen zi bitter mit uns" and you family would never hear from you again.

  • @TakeBackTheWorld if u released the bomb below about 80 ft it would bounce back up and take ure tail off.

  • Actually,if it wasn't for these people and a lot more like them, we'd all be wearing jack boots and talking German as our first language.

  • Actually, they needed to fly low so that the Bouncing Bomb would act as a skipping stone. A very shallow angle of fire is needed for it to work
