Dusty44 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Agreed, if you can’t low level bomb in the Mossie it takes the wind right out it’s sail. 1 If everything seems under control, you’re just not going fast enough. Link to post Share on other sites
Razy Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Yes, it is crucial that delayed fuses are added to all types of ordnance types that supported such fuses. The programming is already there for certain bombs, so it's only a matter of expanding it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Talisman_VR Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) Folks, This is a very informative book: Royal Air Force 1939-1945 Vol III The Fight Is Won by Hilary St.George Saunders: Good (1954) | World of Rare Books (abebooks.co.uk) Published by Her Majesty's Stationary Office in 1954, it gives some great information, including Mosquito timed bomb delay fuses for missions including 10 and 11-second delay and also 30-second delay fused bombs. Page 150 explains how for some targets "preliminary tests with instantaneously fused bombs dropped from a height of 2,000 ft gave no results. It proved necessary , therefore, to descend to tree-top level and throw the bomb into the main building..." Page 151 explains how eight to ten Mosquito aircraft attacked targets "flying in pairs, the first armed with 30-second delay fused bombs, the remainder with 10 second." Therefore, I certainly suggest that we need the ability to adjust our Mosquito bomb delay timed fuses from zero to at least 30-seconds. Happy landings, Talisman P.S. Volumes I and II of the above book are also a very good read. Edited January 22 by Talisman_VR add P.S. 2 56RAF_Talisman Spitfire!
