Dambusters 70th Anniversary flight over Derwent dam
« on: May 19, 2013, 09:54:31 AM »
This clip shows the 70th Anniversary commemorative flight of the Dambusters, Spitfire, Lancaster bomber and 2 Tornadoes from the present squadron.

The Lancaster had a Canadian crew for the flight in memory of Guy Gibson.

I was there it was awesome and moving.

Brave men indeed.

What an awesome tribute! I can only imagine what witnessing it in person must have been like.

The way those brave fliers used the bouncing bombs to breach German dams in WWII was absolutely brilliant!

The bad part is that the government refuses to recognize the only guys who are still alive as brave.
