My dear Cheshire,
Firstly, very warmest congratulations from all here on the award to you of the second bar to your D.S.O. which I see announced today. You may well believe that everybody at these Works who knows what happened a year ago takes a most lively interest in the doings of 617 Squadron.
Secondly, many thanks for your letter of the 13th enclosing two further bomb plots. I will have these analysed and send you copies in a few days' time.
It is an interesting point about the first plot of 500 bombs that it does not fall in with the normal or Gaussian distribution, as on the whole your probability curve appears substantially better than would be given by theoretical standards. We shall be interested to see what sort of results the nest two plots give.
You will by this time, I hope, have heard of the great success which has attended the dropping of one inert and two live Tallboy M's.
P.T.O.
[page break]
The live stores gave depths of penetration between 60 and 80 feet in gravel, sand and clay with excellent detonation. The films show that they are perfectly stable throughout their flight, and I hope that we have therefore provided you with a new and effective weapon.
With kindest regards,
Yours very sincerely,

My dear Chadwick,
I am sorry that my erratic movements since the great event have prevented my receiving your telegram of congratulations until today. I am very deeply grateful, but feel an enormous share of the credit is due to you, and I have been trying to find the time to white and tell you how much I appreciate all the work which you and your assistants have done, and personally, in a special degree, was given the making or breaking of this enterprise, for if at that fateful meeting in C.R.D’s office on the 26th February, you had declared the task impossible of fulfilment in the given time, the powers of opposition were so great that I should never have got instructions to go ahead. Possibly you did not realise how much hung on your instantaneous reaction, but I can assure you that I very nearly had heart failure until you decided to join in the great adventure. No-one believed that we should do it. You yourself said it would be a miracle if we did, and I think the whole thing is one of the most amazing examples of team work and co-operation in the whole history of the war.
May I offer you my very deep thanks for the existence of your wonderful Lancaster, for it was the only aircraft in the world capable of doing the job, and I should like to pay my tribute of congratulation and admiration to you, the designer.
Let us hope that the future will hold for us another terrific adventure in which we may join, though I fear no such spectacular target
P.T.O.

Yours very sincerely,
