Well, it's a bad business isn't it?
Doctor B. N. Wallis, C.B.E., F.R.S.:
Yes, I'm afraid it is.
RAF Officer at trials:
What are you going to do?
Doctor B. N. Wallis, C.B.E., F.R.S.:
I think I know the trouble, I must work on it again.
RAF Officer at trials:
Well, here we are on the 22nd of April. The deadline date for the raid the 19th of May. That's barely four weeks.
Doctor B. N. Wallis, C.B.E., F.R.S.:
Give me a few more days. A week at most.
RAF Officer at trials:
If you go and change the design. the factories will never do it in time...
Doctor B. N. Wallis, C.B.E., F.R.S.:
I shan't change the design. I must just strengthen the casing and try a new method of release.
RAF Officer at trials:
Oh well, a week from today. If it doesn't work then, we shall have to call it off. There's nothing else we can do.
