High Ball tests against railway tunnels 

I remember seeing the film 'Mosquito Squadron' many years ago, when they rolled Highball mines into tunnels. I laughed at it, thinking it was just film bs, until a few years ago I read 'A Most Secret Squadron' by Des Curtis DFC, a history of 618 Squadron, which trained for doing exactly that.

Thank you. These stories are so important. Lest we forget.

Great footage. Highball was intended as an anti-shipping weapon, eventually 618 Sqn arrived in Australia. I suspect the RAAF weren’t impressed, as the squadron saw the war out at Narromine NSW - a LONG way from the sea!

Amazing skill by the pilots! Thanks for sharing this.

The first syllable of Maenclochog is, ironically, pronounced 'mine'.

MOsquito pilots were a breed apart. Back in the 80s, I worked with a very cool gentleman who flew them, during the war.

Great footage! 👍

Very informative and footage that I've not seen before. Thank you.

The mosquito i think was as essential as the bomb for its success.

Very cool

A big explosion outside the tunnel will close the line until it's cleared. Not totally useless.
