#dambusters #movies #aviation #ww2 #lancasterbomber #lancaster #channel5 It may be old and in black and white, but I’ll never tire of watching The Dam Busters. Thanks to Channel 5 for running it this afternoon.
What an amazing film, and what an incredibly brave bunch of men they were.

Off to see dad shortly. Chum driving through to visit family near dad, so kindly offered me a ride, save limping on and off train. Sciatica pain much reduced, but still thankful for lift rather than public transport...

Ich denke, ihr solltet euch mit #OperationChastise bekannt machen. Hier ist ein Einstieg:
Blowing up dams is against the Geneva Conventions. I saw comments from the UK Foreign Minister to that effect. Ironic considering 1943 Operation Chastise (“The Dambusters”)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Chastise
No doubt Ukrainian civilians will be killed by this dam attack. Wiki says the 1943 attack by the RAF killed 1600 civilians, including 1000 “enslaved labourers, mainly Soviet”. One wonders if that is true and if so, is part of this also “pay back”? War is Hell.
So pleased I was able to get to Lincoln this evening, feeling very privileged to have the real Lancaster flypast my own creation at The International Bomber Command Centre. Goosebumps! #AvroLancaster #LancasterBomber #Lincolnshire #Dambusters #RAF #SpeakersON!
A #Lancaster bomber has taken off to commemorate 80 years since the #Dambusters raids on the Ruhr Valley.
Operation Chastise carried out on the night of 16/17 May 1943 by 617 Squadron RAF Bomber Command. https://tinyurl.com/ycknzxmd #peace #fraternity #courage
