Dambusters old and new .....

Tonight I am posting a quite wonderful image taken by Richard Paver earlier this year. It shows a Tornado GR4 of 617 squadron flown by Dambusters2013's good friend Flt Lt Stew Campbell in formation with the battle of Britain Memorial Flight's Lancaster PA474.

The biggest challenge for the current Dambuster pilot was to fly that slowly! As Stew commented "We were flying at about 180kts with 5 tonnes of fuel on board - not very comfortable at all!"

Dambusters2013 is a charity motorcycle ride which will use the commemoration of the 70th Anniversary of the 1943 Dambusters Raid to raise cash for charities Help for Heroes (www.helpforheroes.org.uk) and Motorcycle Outreach (www.motorcycleoutreach.org). See our image below!

 

The 2013 ride will build upon the success of Dambusters2012 and will for the second year running enjoy the full support of 617 sqdn, The Dambusters!
