Eileen Leadley(nee Ball) from Whitianga NZ wishes all well for the celebrations this coming week. I worked as a boffin at Orfordness on the experimental station (the outpost of Farnborough) 1943 – 45 as part of the bouncing bomb experiment. We watched the test drops and did the calculations for the aircraft instruments as per distance, speed, etc. Would love to make contact with anyone that also worked on this project
