1944 German battleship "Tirpitz" sunk off Norway 
The ground crew knew from the size of the bombs they were loading, this was going to be a very special operation for the Lancaster crews of 9 Squadron. Designed by Barnes Wallis, The Tallboy bomb weighed in at an impressive 12,000Ib. On this occasion in November 1944 the crews and aircraft are being readied for departure to Lossiemouth or Kinloss on route to sink the battleship Tirpitz laying at anchor near Tromsø in Norway.

I hate to fly too and thought I never would again, until I had a good enough reason. :)
Now I specifically think about these types of missions our men flew on to give me confidence while I'm being flown by hopefully experienced pilots!

Why? two reasons come to mind.
1 Ever been to Des Moines? :-)
2 Jello, it's soul food here in the upper mid-west!
Well I've got to go and pretend I'm working.

The Lancaster was the only plane that could carry the TallBoy. Those bombs were sort of the forerunner of our Bunker Busters. They used them on some tunnels in Italy or Austria and on subpens.
