This video was from a segment broadcast in 2012 about the New Forest's wartime activities. This part of the film is about the Ashley Walk bombing range near Fordingbridge and explains the discovery of the illuminated target arrow, how the bouncing bomb was tested here, and the craters left by the Grand Slam and Tallboy bombs.

It was my friend Fl/Lt Trevor Muhl of 617 Squadron who dropped the Grand Slam that brought the Bielefeld viaduct down. I spent a lot of time with him when I was a teenager, he showed me his log book, and gave me a copy of a photo of the Mohne dam breach that was given to him by Sir Barnes Wallis just after the war. That photo is now in the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre at East Kirkby. Both him and his wife are buried in the churchyard 200 yards from my house.
