making it until now.
As the camera man said:
"You'll never see this again."
I have a friend who was THERE when this happened!
Awesome stuff.
Sir Barnes Wallis, who designed the R100 airship and the bouncing bomb which was used to breach two Ruhr Valley dams during the Second World War, lived for over 40 years in a home which overlooked the 17th fairway at Effingham Golf Links. The bomb itself was spherical and dimpled. I dont think it was painted white but it does make one wonder about what his inspiration might have been?
About a month ago, I gave a Callaway Tour ball to a
friend. I said this ball will really bite. On the
first three par the guy used the ball, first time,
and knocked it past the pin and it backed up into
the hole.
