Hi All
Just a reminder the Dam Buster raid took place 16-17 May 1943.
I'm heading to a screening of the movie at the Sir Keith Park annex to MOTAT.

I believe I'll be seated under the Lancaster there.

Here's an interesting look at the raid from today's perspective.

Does anyone know about the Peter Jackson remake of the Dambusters? I wondered where it was in production and if there was release date as of yet? Russell

Sorry Russell, Peter Jackson released today that he is putting the Dam Buster remake on hold until he finishes up the Hobbitt trilogy
