Default Remembering the - Dambusters_00.jpg (0/1)

RustYŠ added these comments in the current discussion du jour ...


Friday was the 65th anniversary of the Dambusters raid and a small
service was held at Derwent reservoir near Sheffield. These are
from the fly past by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and a
couple of present bombers from 617 Sqd.

So, these pics are local to Great Britain, Rusty? I'm aware of this raid
primarily from the B & W movie and from the History Channel episode about
it. IIRC, it was some dam in the Ruhr River in Germany that was actually
bombed.
