1:06:00
and that is literally
their purpose...

1:06:03
to cause an earthquake...
which will bring down...

1:06:05
the overhanging section
and bury that factory...

1:06:10
the Germans have built
under that cliff.

1:06:16
Gentlemen,
you may return to your seats.

1:06:31
Squadron Leader Adams
will continue with the briefing.

1:06:40
This is the flight plan
from Sutton Craddock.

1:06:44
By following this dogleg,
the chances of losing...

1:06:47
the surprise element
over the sea are reduced.

1:06:50
If you are detected...
1:06:51
this route will
lead the enemy to believe...

1:06:53
that you're on
a coastal shipping strike.

1:06:57
Wing Commander Grant,
anything to add?

1:07:01
I would just
like to remind the men...

1:07:03
we will drop the bombs
within 50 yards of each other...

1:07:06
at ten-second intervals.
1:07:08
The geologists calculate
that 12 bombs of this size...

1:07:12
exploding in this pattern,
will break loose the overhang.

1:07:16
Skipper, excuse me,
I'd like to ask a question.

1:07:19
Go ahead.
1:07:20
Isn't it likely that each plane
could be blown apart...

1:07:23
by the explosion of the bomb
in front of it?

1:07:25
Not if our calculations
are correct.

1:07:27
I hope
you've got a good calculator.

1:07:32
With all
those gun emplacements...

1:07:34
the flak's going
to be murderous, isn't it?

1:07:36
The Norwegian underground
will attack at exactly 0630.

1:07:40
Which means you should be
entering the fjord...

1:07:43
not earlier than 0655
and not later than 0705.

1:07:48
Squadron Leader Adams.
1:07:49
Time check your watches.
1:07:50
It's coming up 2:47 in...
1:07:53
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, check.
