Operation Chastise
🕑 Added 2025-03-30 05:52:31 +0000 UTCWell hello again! In my last update, I said I was working to a date in May, and a few folks guessed what was going on... I have written the scripts for not one, not two but three episodes on the Bomber War, and specifically 1943 and Operation Chastise. All being well I'll release them in time for the 82nd Anniversary of the raids, which feels remarkably organised of me, so stand by for something to go wrong....
I hope to have all three recorded and edited in the next two-three weeks and I'll make sure Patreons can see them first obvs.
See you soon!

I'll get there, you're skipping to the end

A CEP is difficult, not least because of whether you count the skips as being hits and thus they missed automatically by about 450yards..... I reckon a % on target is a reasonable measure and it looks like this 7 drops on the mohne, with 5 hits, one went over and one veered left (71%) 3 drops on the Eder with 2 hits – one went over and hit Z-Zebra, the other two appear to have hit (66%) 1 dropped on the Eneppe but blew up 50 yards short (0%) 2 dropped on the Sorpe without sights Thus two lolipop sticks with a pair of nails in, some marker pen onthe perspex and some string > the Norden

I just wonder what the CEP of the bomb sights used (string, wood and some discarded fairy lights) compares to the Norden Bombshite?
