Re: Upkeep trials and Reculver
Hi, RSwank
Good overview. Whilst going through the logbook of one of the Vickers test pilots involved in the Upkeep trials (“Shorty” Longbottom), I came across an interesting entry. On the 13th May, ie a few days before the Dam’s raid, Shorty carried out the first live drop of the weapon. However, there was no entry of that flight on that date in his logbook. However, it was recorded at the end of the month of May, with the date of the drop being stated as the 13th. Security reason I presume…..
