Honouring the bravery and sacrifice of those involved in Operation Chastise

Eight decades after the Dambusters Raid, an audacious operation that marked a turning point in the Second World War, a Lancaster bomber from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) is set to commemorate this historic event.

On the evening of 16 May, the aircraft will undertake a special flight, tracing a route over all of Lincolnshire’s Bomber Command bases. This unique tribute will honour the bravery and sacrifice of those involved in Operation Chastise, providing a poignant reminder of our shared history.
