A lad at my school died when he jumped off the school roof,
it was just after I told him that my Gradad flew a Wellington during the war

Yes it was Barnes Wallice the designer of the famous bouncing bomb and also he is reputed to have said when wanting to use a Wellington bomber to test the bomb when asked for a reason to use a Wellington Bomber if you tell them I desinged it that migfht help but not sure how true that quote is

Barnes Wallis designed the geodesic frame used in the Wellington, but it would be a bit wide of the mark to say he was responsible for the bombers design as his frame was primarily intended for airships.
