Hi everyone.

The need has promoted an unlikely combination during WW2, a small plane and a heavyweight bomb. We are talking of dH Mosquito and blockbuster bombs used by the Royal Air Force. The link below provides an interesting collection of photos, some of which I had never seen before, this unusual combination. It is worth visiting and I hope you enjoy.

That sure was one heck of a bomb for a relatively small bomber! I like the writing on the bomb, good spirit.
 
It was impressive because the empty weight of the aircraft was 13000lb so a 4000lb bomb load was quite impressive.

All one has to due is look at how the bomb is shoehorned into the aircraft to see it was very impressive indeed.
