Due to the sinking of the Tirpitz having been attributed to 9 Squadron, an intense rivalry developed between 617 (aka The Junior Squadron) and 9 Squadron after the sinking of the warship. The Tirpitz Bulkhead that was presented to Bomber Command by the Royal Norwegian Air Force, in commemoration of friendship and co-operation during World War II was of particular interest with both Squadrons 'owning' the bulkhead at various times until 2002 when the bulkhead was presented to the Bomber Command Museum.



Best regards ...
