Caption

... left hand shot is credited as "window cascades from Lancaster I NG126/SR-B of 101 ...

This is NOT Window, it is around 1,000 4lb stick incendiaries being dropped from the Lancaster's SBC (Small Bomb Containers) - see here [1] carried in the bomb bay. Window was pushed out in packets manually from chutes in the cabin area, not from the bomb bay. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.4.57.101 (talk) 12:43, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The devices being dropped are these (see image right)

- the IWM caption is incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.7.147.13 (talk) 20:15, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
