The story of the R101 disaster was also very compellingly told in an 18 minute long song by none other than Iron Maiden as the last track on the Book Of Souls album.
Of course Barnes Wallis had a similar time getting most o his stuff passed the Ministry of defense.
I believe I read somewhere that Barnes Wallis questioned one of the officers that had rejected his bouncing bomb idea why he had turned it down. The reply was "I get 100 ideas of which only 1 is good so if I turn them all down I only make 1 mistake"
