Just seen on my local BBC news, a Lancaster will be flying over Ladybower reservoir after 10:00 am tomorrow to remember the dambuster raids of 617 squadron.
Wish I was up near Sheffield, please someone get some photos?
6 RCAF Bomber Group (organisation, airfields, squadrons, aircarft, and their 70 crashes in Belgium (location, crew, evasion lines, cemeteries, PoW Camps, etc...). Busy for a couple of years !!!!!!
it was a moving and special event and it was privileged to be there.Chris
It was an extremely moving event. And felt privileged to have been there, even more so to have been lucky enough to shake the hand of Les Munro, the last surviving pilot from the raid. likewise no pics, well not until the borrowed camera has been 'debriefed'
Some from earlier today. A mix of mine and Bill Williams'. I'd like to thank him for the loan of the camera for the morning as I had a bit of a battery cock-up!

They are nice shots, Chris. I look forward to seeing more as you have chance to review them. Shame I couldn't be with you, but discretion was the better part of valour!
