Our Museum has built and displays full-size replicas of the
'Upkeep' (bouncing bomb) and the 'Tallboy' (12,000 pound)
bomb. Now we'd like to build a full-size replica of the 'Grand
Slam' (22,400 pound) bomb. Johnny Fauquier, the RCAF's most
decorated airman, commanded 617 Squadron during the last
months of World War II. Johnny dropped six of the forty-one
Grand Slams that the squadron used to destroy submarine
pens, railway viaducts, and other targets.
John and Andy are the experienced master-craftsmen who
built our Tallboy several years ago. They're ready to go and
have the proven talent and experience to build the Grand
Zone K - Father's Day Fun Fly Slam. They will be donating much of their time to this but
Swift Wings would like to invite you all to our Father's there are significant material costs and a trailer to be built to
day fun fly for 2 days of flying fun. Flite Test combat is carry the huge weapon. As is the case with our 'Upkeep' and
