When Gibson meets with Wallis at the final drop test, he tells Wallis that they have been able to fly at 60 feet. Wallis is astonished, though of course very pleased.
However that was one of the major requirements, in order to prevent the bomb casing bursting as it did when dropped from higher up.
Surely Wallis would have been told in advance that "Mutt" was able to fly at 60 feet for the drop test - especially as Gibson told Wallis that they had been doing it for a week - otherwise there wouldn't have been any point in conducting the test.
