First time in RAFG in '68 and couldn't resist a flight over the Mohne Dam - and it still remains a highlight of my times there until '76. Mind you, at a height of 60 ft and 120 kts the Wessex hardly resembled a Lancaster (noise and vibration excepted), and being in daylight reduced the tension somewhat. Whatever, on the pull-up over the basin the thought was "WTF, respect guys, that is bloody low for a 100 ft wingspan"
Not a peep from the authorities at Gutersloh on return. However, the locals down town were not RAF fans - allegedly a strong recruiting base for the SS a few years earlier, yet any conversation with them had them all professing to have spent their war on the Eastern Front.
