    A Street of bombs in a depot of R.A.F Maintenance Command driven into the heart of a mountain. The bombs the men seen trundling down a ramp were 500lb. high explosive blast bombs, and stacked on the left are 500lb. semi armour piercing bombs. For everything except pay and rations for spare motors or aircraft, for petrol and oil, for uniforms, oxygen, compasses, dope and bombs, or any other of the 750,000 separate items which keep an air force in the air, the R.A.F. had to go Maintenance Command.
