633 Squadron Page #2

Synopsis: 633 Squadron has enjoyed an unqualified string of successes. Their luck changes when they are assigned to bomb a German rocket fuel plant, in Norway which is guarded by heavy anti-aircraft defences, and the plant is considered bomb-proof. Their nearly impossible mission is further complicated by a German air raid, the difficult approach to the target and the capture and torture of the underground leader who is assisting the squadron.

our approach speed to 290.

How are we going to bomb

the target...

even if we get

the right approach speed?

That's what

we're here to find out.

Made eight passes already,

and each one's a bust.

Skipper,

let's sit this one out.

Don't you trust me, Hoppy?

Like my dear old mum...

but this one's a bit dicey.

I thought you wanted

to see Scotland.

Yeah, but not upside down.

You had a good day, Grant.

Not good enough.

I'll try again tomorrow.

That's yesterday, today,

tomorrow.

Three days out of your 17, Roy.

Perhaps you'd better

take the squadron.

All right.

I wish there was some way

to see that target.

I could describe it to you,

every detail.

Wasn't Bissel an artist?

The center peak is higher.

This one?

Yes. And the cliff

hangs over more.

Fine.

What's this all about, Skipper?

You'll find out soon enough.

I see. Sort of hush-hush?

You sure

that's the way it is?

As you remember it?

Yes. That's as good as a photograph.

Good. Thanks, Bissel.

Sir.

Bissel, how you making out

with Mary what's-her-name?

- Mary Blake?

- Yeah.

It's sort of hush-hush...

but we're getting married.

He's out of his head.

Don't you approve

of war marriages?

No. Not for me.

You don't want any attachments?

That's right.

How wide is that fjord?

Not over 200 yards.

What's on the other side

of the fjord?

A lake.

A large lake.

What's that?

A sail boat.

My sister Hilde and I

used to go sailing there.

She's in England now.

How'd she get out of Norway?

We smuggled her out

in a fishing boat...

just after

our parents were killed.

And your parents, Roy,

where are they?

My mother's dead.

I haven't seen my father

since I was a kid.

I have been more fortunate.

My memories before the war

were happy ones.

What did you do before the war?

I was studying to become

a doctor...

until the Nazis came.

Instead of

learning how to cure...

we learned how to kill.

I will send word!

With all

these reinforcements...

do you think

they'll call off the attack?

Not if Erik can help it.

There are many more Germans.

We'll spread ourselves thinner

and start 24-hour patrols.

Thanks.

Stand easy, gentlemen.

I've called you here...

because I've just had

a message from Intelligence.

The Germans have moved in

another entire regiment...

and a string of

Ack-Ack vehicles a mile long...

right into our target area.

Our underground cannot knock out

another German regiment.

We have not enough men.

Get some more.

If we can,

they will need training.

What about

a parachute attack?

It would not work.

There is no place

to land or group.

Commandos. They can work

their way into the fjord.

We have discarded that idea
