Wrong Eric, they were only checking to make sure the bomb doors opened.
They filled the bay with our unwanted unwashed relatives of taxi drivers intending to drop them off over the icy waters around the N.Pole.
Where ever they were built it's a marvellous achievement for two old crates to still fly after 70 years, especially crossing the Atlantic as yours did.
I wonder what route they took.
Due west is Newfoundland, probably shortest distance over water. Not the best mode of transport for the passengers and driver but I bet they enjoyed every minute.
