I did a quick hack in order to experiment with this solution.  From a code 
point of view it works very well.

However, the overall effect I am getting is that a falling Bomber hits the 
ground or drowns before it explodes.  The reason is because by the time it 
has fallen two-thirds of a screen (i.e. The entrance platform to the water 
in Evil in the Dark), only 5 frames of the bomber has been done out of the 
"15" frames.

I don't think reducing the number of frames for a bomber is the right 
thing to do.  Other than that, I don't know what I should do about this.

Thanks,
Gervase.
