A pilot with the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. We know from the source we have that this was the pilot of Lancaster PA474 City of Lincoln for the Flight for the Bournemouth Air Show in September 1988 and the RAF Henlow open day, presumably in the same flight which took 1 hour and 15 minutes. The co-pilot on this flight was Squadron Leader C J Booth, the Navigator Squadron Leader D I McKendrick and the Flight Engineer was Master Engineer R E Green.

Having arrived at the Eder dam, following the successful breaching of the Mohne on the night of 16th/17th May 1943, Wing Commander Guy Gibson put Flight Lieutenant D J Shannon, flying ED929G, to the task of making the first attack, but he had great difficulty achieving the correct height and approach and had to make a number of abortive runs before finally releasing his Upkeep bomb. AJ-L is shown here making his penultimate pass over the Eder wall, his mine still attached. This dam was eventually breached by Pilot Officer Les Knight, flying ED912(G) whose perfectly placed mine caused a massive breach in the south end of the dam.

Not This Time by Ivan Berryman. 		No single raid during World War Two has attracted more discussion, analysis, features, books, interviews, or been the subject of more films, documentaries, and TV programmes than the famous attack mounted by the RAFs 617 Squadron upon the mighty hydroelectric dams in Westphalia, on the night of 16/17 May, 1943. Led by Wing Commander Guy Gibson, nineteen specially adapted Lancaster bombers, manned by 133 aircrew, culminated months of secret training when they made one of the most audacious raids of the war. Flying at tree-top height in darkness, and doing their best to avoid electricity pylons and other obstructions, they navigated their way deep into occupied territory. Their targets were the huge Mohne, Sorpe, Ennepe, and Eder Dams that powered Germanys huge industrial factories in the heartland of the Rhur. Each bomber had to avoid enemy flak and fighters en route, locate their target, descend to precisely 60 feet above the water then, in the face of a barrage of anti-aircraft fire, release their single unique 10,000 lb hydrostatic bomb at exactly the right moment. There was no margin for error, and there was no place for faint hearts. Eight of the crews that left RAF Scampton that night were never to return. Of the fifty-six aircrew on board only two survived. Though nearly half the skilled crews that made up 617 squadron were lost, they recorded one of the most successful and daring air raids of the war- a costly endeavour, but one that has become legend in the annals of aerial warfare. Nicolas Trudgians emotive painting Homeward Bound depicts Dave Shannons Lancaster AJ-L, dodging the searchlights low over the Dutch landscape, as he returns from the Eder Dam following the part he and his crew played in the famous raid on that moonlight night in May, 1943.<br><br><b>Published 2000.</b>

Homeward Bound by Nicolas Trudgian. 		The image shows Lancaster AJ-P attacking the Mohne dam. Alongside is the portrait of AJ-P pilot Flt Lt H B Martin. This aircraft was the third to attack the Mohne dam, and although the bomb was dropped successfully, it veered to the side of the dam and exploded off target. The aircraft returned safely.<br><br><b>Crew of <i>P for Popsie</i> :</b><br><br>Pilot : Flt Lt H B Martin<br>Flight Engineer : Plt Off I Whittaker<br>Navigator : Flt Lt J F Leggo<br>Wireless Operator : Flg Off L Chambers<br>Bomb Aimer : Flt Lt R C Hay<br>Front Gunner : Plt Off B T Foxlee<br>Rear Gunner : Flt Sgt T D Simpson.

Tribute to the 617 Sqn Dambusters Crew of Lancaster AJ-P by David Pentland.		The nose and tail gunners of Ken Brown's Lancaster ED918(G) F for Freddie pour fire into a train as they pass overhead en route to the Sorpe Dam during the Dambusters raid.

Unmissable Chance by Ivan Berryman.
