I can say after sitting ( and taxying) in the RCAF Mk.X Lancaster you actually feel like your defending an Empire with an Aircraft like that.
the bravery of the RAF crews on the night of the Dams raid takes its rightful place in the long and storied annals of UK history.
it must NOT be forgotten.

I only learned recently that I had a cousin on my dads side who ended up being a tail gunner in the Dambusters.One sortie his plane didnt return,and his wartime photos of him sitting in the tail position with chunks of aircraft missing around him are kept in the family with great pride.

I have to admit when I first watched this I assumed that this was a memorial flight on one of the target dams. I thought, geezh, the West sure is pretty tight that the locals allowed the English to memorialize the attack. I'd kinda be like the US flying a B-29 on the 60th ann of Hiroshima. Then I looked it up Derwent Reservoir .... Very tastefully done.
I wouldn't know mate, wasn't there, sorry.
