What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Reckless Rat]

The majority of the practice runs for the Dambusters raid were done over the Howden, Derwent & Ladybower reservoirs in the Peak District near Sheffield. To celebrate the 50th anniversary in 1993 the Battle of Britain flight, including the Lancaster "City of Lincoln" flew over the dams. I was still working at the time and was involved in the traffic management aqlongside the Derbyshire lads to deal with the spectators. It was a very moving day.

When you see how big and cumbersome a Lancaster is at low level, it's a wonder any of them came back.
