      As a matter of fact Barnes is always remember with great respect in my household. In fact on rememberance sunday, my late father always bought an extra pint of beer , which was put on the mantle piece in the local pub. I never did find out who drank them after we left..

      My own more-direct knowledge of Barnes' work was related to radio astronomy. He designed the guidance mechanism for the equatorial mounts for both the Parkes radio telescope in Australia, and the Algonquin 47m radio telescope in Canada. It used, like the dambusters mechanism, a tightly-collimated beam of light.

    It took the designer of the bomb several months to get the speed, height and distances between the aircraft and target for it to work right. Duct tape in the TAG and USAAF was used to fix airframe battle damages, here in the state's we orginally called it 400 MPH Tape.

    • @DanishBlu
      @DanishBlu 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also, while you might not think so, low level flying is actually quite difficult. For instance, the things you can do to try and gain more altitude, actually tend to cause a loss of altitude. The change in the horizontal stabilizer actually increases drag. And if you don't simultaneously increase engine power, you'll go down, not up.
