"I've never seen anything like it in my life"
All roads double parked for a 5 mile radius, hundreds of people on roads, footpaths and the pub car park, and traffic in the village at a total standstill. Why ? All to watch a 70 plus year old aeroplane do a display in commemoration of something that happened 70 years ago tonight. Having served on 617 I had almost taken the dams raid for granted but having seen the turnout tonight has brought home how much it meant, and still means to a large number of people.
The Lancaster kicked up an awful lot of dust in my garden this evening.
