Carried out 75years ago by RAF 617 squadron. Many Lancaster's and their crews set off from RAF Scampton on this mission. Some failed to return. One of the hardest missions of the war. Carried out magnificently by these airmen, 2 of whom are still alive. Credit also to Barnes Wallis and his bouncing bombs. Brave men of whom over 50 died on this mission * +

I got my Splatt stickers, Cobra alarm, Feu Orange air freshener, Audioline stereo and Goodmans speakers from there. * +

Saw some documentary that claimed the dams bursting wasn't even a huge problem for the Germans.

''Within five months, all the damage the Dambusters had caused was repaired.'' * +
