617 Dambuster Sqd memorial
by carmagw
This is the Dambusters memorial stone held in one of the towers on the Derwent Resevoir Dam.
The inscription reads..
'This stone erected by public subscription to the gallant men of 617 Dambuster SQD. R.A.F.
who successfully breached the dams of western Germany in World War II using the bouncing bomb devised by Dr Barnes Wallis.
Derwent Dam was chosen because of its close resemblance to the German Dams for intensive low level practice and bomb aiming techniques.'
