Are you referring to 'Bomber Harris' there?
He was a totally lunatic by all accounts!
Arthur `Bomber` Harris believed that germany could be broken by what was called `area bombing`....this was the method employed before so called `pinpoint` bombing was developed...

the idea was you saturate the whole area with ordenance...thereby guarenteeing you destroyed (or damaged/put out of action) the target...

and consider this:

the Lancaster could get off the ground with 22,000 lb of stores...

thats 10 tons of bombs....
 
We were round the back once, workmate wants a go in the forklift, out of control and rams into a 12 inch water main.
Water everywhere! :smilielol5:
well...

theres the time i put the jetwasher on the forks...to take it down to the maintainence shed....realised i was approaching said maintainance shed too fast....stamped on the brakes and shooomph...off slid the jetwasher...rolled over twice and shaged all the canopy on it....lol....it was all cracked and fuk`t.....lol..

then there was the other time....

i was up in the top factory...the floor was always wet...
there were some brand new grey plastic tubs in there....large ones that you could stack..

so...approach with the intention of taking some of them down the yard...applied the brakes as i was going too fast....the forktruck kind of `aquaplaned`...forks straight through 2 of these tubs....lol..brand new they were...i had to tell a lie about how that happened...lucky enough no-one else saw it...lol..

mate of mine at the same factory went out one night and got pised..so then broke into the factory and took one of the forklifts for a joy ride...

you could see where he had been as the heel of the forks had been scraping along the tarmac...all the way round Ossett town centre...lol..

best thing was a week later......he did it again.....lol...johnty....lol...
