Doctor B. N. Wallis, C.B.E., F.R.S.:
How are you getting on with the low flying? Gibson:
Ah, it's awfully hard to get accuracy. I mean to within a few feet. Especially at night, over water. Still, we'll find some way of doing it. Doctor B. N. Wallis, C.B.E., F.R.S.:
Yes, yes, it must be very difficult. Flight Lt. R.C. Hay, DFC:
Bomb-aiming is another headache, sir. The ordinary bombsight isn't accurate enough at such a low level. And you want the aircraft to drop their bombs dead on the same spot, one after another? Doctor B. N. Wallis, C.B.E., F.R.S.:
Yes, yes, within a few feet. Gibson:
Well, we'll look after our headaches and leave you to look after yours. Doctor B. N. Wallis, C.B.E., F.R.S.:
I'm afraid that's all we can do at present. Oh, I shall get it right within a few days. You must try and come down again. Gibson:
I'd like to, sir
