Why is it when 617 squadron is mentioned the only thing 'their' history jumps out at them is the ruddy Dambusters!
Don't forget 617sqd dropped more Tall-Boys over Germany than the Dambusters raid ever did,
617sqd was based at RAF Scampton from March 1943 to 30 Aug 1943 Oh and 617sqd was also based at RAF Woodhall Spa from Jan' 1944 to June 1945 too
Just spent several days at Petwood Hotel in a private gathering of RAF Bomber Command veterans and was honoured to talk to many of them.
Cheers.
