14 Advertisements. FLIGHT APRIL 29TH, 1943 AND TIS the sport to hav3 the engineer hoistwith his own petard."—Thus Hamlet,using a phrase which has perpetuated in our language the name of a weapon long, forgotten. Our illustration Shows the petard used as a siege piece to blow open the doors of a stronghold ; the man, having ignited the charge, is seen departing with all speed to avoid being " hoist'' in the manner suggested by the immortal bard. Our present enemy has failed to avoid this fate, having brought upon himself a hail ot bombs far more devastating than those he rained on us in the Battle of Britain. That we can afford to continue these heavy attacks is no maan tribute to the gun turrets which protect the bombers on the way to their targets and home again. PAULBOULTON GUN TURRETS BPH
