O man you guys should test a little more and get better at it, make a new foam plane (or a couple :) ), paint it the right colors and you could give demonstrations at airshows, wwII celebrations/remembrances, veteran meet ups.

[@No1sonuk]

IIRC, the spherical casing was omitted because it was noticed that when one of them disintegrated, the internal cylinder carried on. They tested with just the cylinder, and it worked better.

[@richardvernon317]

Not really. One issue with just using a Cylinder is that if the bomb is not dropped with the aircraft having its wings level, the bomb may hit the water with its long axis at an angle which will result in the bomb bouncing in an arc instead of a straight line. This did happen to the third bomb dropped on the Mohne by Micky Martin during the Dams Raid ,

[@No1sonuk]

​@@richardvernon317 "Worked better" in that it worked at all...

[@richardvernon317]

@@No1sonuk ​ The Spherical bomb did work better, they just didn't have time to develop it. The Cylindrical metal core was selected to allow the thing to be built in time to allow the RAF to attack the dams when they were full. Building 50 odd Spherical all metal Upkeep bombs were not possible in the time allowed, thus Wallis hoped that a wooden cylindrical barrel around the metal cylinder would be good enough. It wasn't The original solid prototypes dropped form the Wellington were Spherical. Highbsll for the Mosquito was Spherical. What a lot of people don't realise it how fast this thing was developed. Yes, Walils had been working on the theory and with models (including the early full sized air dropped prototypes) for about a year when the decision was made to actually build a full sized weapon to attack the dams within less than 3 months. The RAF's plan wasn't however just to use Upkeep against the Dam's in the May of 1943, they hoped to have Highball ready as well and do a daylight mosquito attack against the Tirpitz to boot in the same month! So Wallis was actually working on two new weapon designs concurrently. Highball failed to meet the deadline due to problems with the aircraft's release mechanisms and the fact that the bomb couldn't handle sea waves very well, so the pressure to develop that dropped off in the late April. There was also the fact that Guy Gibson not only had to form a new squadron and train it to do an operation totally left field of what anybody in Bomber Command's main force was doing at the time. He had to form and train with almost a completely new crew in his aircraft as well, as unlike the Film, only one of Gibson's crew from 106 Squadron went across to Scampton with him.

Interesting to note that Barnes Wallis tested many of his later designs using remote-controlled models, rather than risk the lives of real pilots. So this one was historic on a couple of levels. Nice work!

[@davidconnolly7693]

That video of the drop is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long while!

[@allenmoore9848]

Loved this video and appreciate all the hard work. From memory the Lancaster had two spot lights on the wing tips pointed inward. When the plane got to the correct altitude the two spot beams would converge to form one point of light on the water. Incredible engineering and so simple at the same time.

[@MrSlipstreem]

My dad was in the RAF for many years and a keen tinkerer/DIYer until his passing a few years ago, and I wish he was still here to watch you lads doing this. What an awesome experiment! The monochrome slow-mo at the end with the sound of the Rolls-Royce Merlins brought a lump to my throat. Thanks so much for sharing.

Just wanted to say that as a little kid, being able to build, fly and test experiments like what you've done in this video were the things of dreams. Now that I'm "all grown up" and this kind of stuff has become a reality, I can't tell you how much joy this kind of content brings me. Especially considering I got my degree in History with a concentration in modern conflict, specifically the World Wars, this kind of stuff excites both the kid in me as well as my more academic/historical interests.

Awesome work, but i was watching it with a stone in my stomach. I grew up near the city (Neheim) where the Möhne joins into the Ruhr few km downstream of the Möhne-dam. So many civilians died that day. And there was a Prisoner of War Camp directly beside the rivers. I think they all drowned that day. There a still floodmarks in bronze on some buildings that didnt collapse in rememberance. My village is up on a hill and was safe, but my Grandpa always told me he remembers mostly the animals that fled uphill in panic that day. Horses completely in sweat and with foam in there mouths from their flight. War is a terrible thing. We should always remember that. Even if we can appreciate the engineering.
