VH-KDK Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 The night of May 16/7 marks 75 years since the famous Dams Raid by 617 Squadron. Remembering all of the casualties from that night. 6. Not a 617 Lancaster but the only view I could find, an FSX take fron 4 years ago. I am looking forwards to the new Lancaster which is just over the horizon.

It is amazing what these young people achieved, he didn't want to end up flying a desk either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just happened to turn on a programme on History Channel yesterday and realised first it was the anniversary of the raid and then that it was 75 years.

This week in Cardiff there has been a show celebrating 100 Years of the RAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Well done Martyn, I always like to see the airmen of WWII remembered. What an adventure that mission was too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
