"OK, Elroy, take this camera and tripod, and stand just there - but don't move. When I say 'NOW' take the shot. I might be a little hard to hear - we are expecting some other noise, so I'll flash my torch too. Ya got that?"

I've seen this somewhere. THey're setting the guns for ground level strafing, right? That means pulling the way they meet each other closer, and canting them downward so the pilot can fly level(er) and strafe without hitting the ground (as fast)
