Fascinating that a near miss could often be more destructive than a direct hit.

The Grand slam and the Tall boy were the wonder weapons of WW2 ,Ive been lucky to see some of the v2 sites where they were dropped .

definately agree they were wonder weapons dropped by the best bomber of WWII IMO. They were used to great effect and also put paid to the Tirpitz. Must have been a real shock having something like this dropped on you!!! Great thread
