The internet is an amazing place. Through it Dambusters 2012 has been privileged to make contact with Charles Foster, whose uncle was David Maltby, the pilot of AJ-J, the Avro Lancaster Special from the Dams Raid in 1943 whose route our bikes will be following! How cool is that!

Dear Simon


Thanks for your email.


It's a great tribute to David and his crew that you are doing this ride. I will publicise it on my Dambusters blog -- http://dambustersblog.com -- and on my tribute site to the crew of AJ-J -- http://www.breakingthedams.com .


I am sending you pictures of the aircraft AJ-J in flight, and of the crew.


best wishes


Charles
