Sir Barnes Wallis, who designed the R100 airship and the bouncing bomb which was used to breach two Ruhr Valley dams during the Second World War, lived for over 40 years in a home which overlooked the 17th fairway at Effingham Golf Links. The bomb itself was spherical and dimpled. I dont think it was painted white but it does make one wonder about what his inspiration might have been?
