One thing that we must make perfectly clear.
Corbyn is absolutely adamant that he will not sanction any action without the prior agreement of the UN.
Secondly, he has made it perfectly clear that he will not sanction any lethal action whatsoever on any UK Citizen abroad, he is insistent that they brought back to face trial here in the UK.
So, if have imagery of a UK Citizen carving the head off a captive or raping a 9 year old, he would rather we allowed them to do it again than kill them to prevent such atrocities happening.
That is such a sad day for Society and humanity at large.

He was a busy chap, wasn't he?
Also, it should be remembered that the much vaunted MOAB actually weighs a little less, at 20,000lb, than the Grand Slam!

The mighty Avro Vulcan.......Payload of 23,000 Lbs
The Lancaster Bomber.......Payload of 42,000 Lbs
You would have thought that the Vulcan with its four Olympus engines [same as Concorde] would carry twice as much as the Lancaster with its four Merlin Propeller Engines [Same as the Spitfire]....

On the same grounds, the 'bomb bay' was probably not as capacious as that of the Lancaster.
I suppose that another factor was speed. The Vulcan was designed to fly much faster than the Lancaster, so it is possible that payload may have been sacrificed for speed.
