I thought our Royal Air Force was a shining example last night with the Ceremony held at RAF Scampton. Just the right balance to commemorate all the crews that took part in Operation Chastise and the salute to those that never returned from the mission.

Just in case some people missed the BBC 2 coverage ... it has just been released on iPlayer.

BBC iPlayer The Dambusters 70 Years On

Just a shame the commentators made a few gaffs ...

During the Guard of Honour Right Dress ... Eddie Butler said "there's a bit of shuffling about"

Just before the 617 Squadron Standard was Marched On ... Eddie Butler said of the Standard "it's an important badge"


Here are some screen grabs of the BBC 2 OB for friends overseas without access to VPN to view iPlayer

All images are from the BBC.



Well played F/L Dunlop and crew



Well played F/O Ward immaculate drill



Arrival timing ... perfect



Nice appropriate words from AVM Atha

Best regards ...

Coff.
