" Atlas" who comes Landridnod Wells stoops down and with the aid of his three companions, the bomb is laid across his shoulders and he pushes the projectile into position in the rack, the other three then make fast the ends in their proper position.
By this method each bomber is loaded up in a third of the usual time.
