been on radio 2 all day today,gave a bit of an insight as to what they had to do , flying a lancaster bomber at 60 feet above the ground for 10 hrs, some flew so low the actual bomb dislodged on the sea , the boms rotated anti clockwise when they left the plane so when they hit the dam they would roll down the wall and explode scary stuff, chocs away n al that

 

[High Peak Tiling]

Pretty clever & would have to be precise!
let alone when the have deployed the bomb they would of had to of pulled up quick

And I bet every last one of them had a proper great big thumping mustache!!!

 

[High Peak Tiling]

Pure skill and nerves of steel to do what they did.

Radio 2 this morning, Chris Evans was in one. For a car enthusiast like him to be sat with 4 of them

I was down in Lincolnshire for the Queens Jubilee and the Lancaster took off near where we were and flew overhead down to the capital, what a sound, you're right Dave, brings a lump to the throat when you think how brave they were.
