The Dam Busters came out in 1955. Wallis was played by Michael Redgrave and Gibson by Richard Todd. Wallis's daughter Elisabeth played the camera technician in the water tank sequence.

#dambusters #movies #aviation #ww2 #lancasterbomber #lancaster #channel5 It may be old and in black and white, but I’ll never tire of watching The Dam Busters. Thanks to Channel 5 for running it this afternoon.
What an amazing film, and what an incredibly brave bunch of men they were. -
Off to see dad shortly. Chum driving through to visit family near dad, so kindly offered me a ride, save limping on and off train. Sciatica pain much reduced, but still thankful for lift rather than public transport...
Belated Father's Day present for dad in form of new book on Barnes Wallis

Blowing up dams is against the Geneva Conventions. I saw comments from the UK Foreign Minister to that effect. Ironic considering 1943 Operation Chastise (“The Dambusters”)

No doubt Ukrainian civilians will be killed by this dam attack. Wiki says the 1943 attack by the RAF killed 1600 civilians, including 1000 “enslaved labourers, mainly Soviet”. One wonders if that is true and if so, is part of this also “pay back”? War is Hell. -
So pleased I was able to get to Lincoln this evening, feeling very privileged to have the real Lancaster flypast my own creation at The International Bomber Command Centre. Goosebumps! #AvroLancaster #LancasterBomber #Lincolnshire #Dambusters #RAF #SpeakersON!

Did I say I have #dived the #Bouncing #Bombs in #Lock #Striven near #Dunoon twice now? These are *not* the #Dambusters #Upkeep as deployed by #Lancaster #Bombers, but spherical #Highball bombs deployed by #Mosquito. These were the #RAF tools to sink the #Tirpitz. This was my first trip with the Seahorse #Dive Club with Tom. There are only two Highballs on the surface, #Brooklands and the de Havilland Aircraft Museum. This is a true underwater #museum!
