Op Chastise 81 years ago today. Guy Gibson said something along the lines of “Either 617 Squadron will be wiped out tonight or we’ll go down in history as one of the greatest squadrons in bombing history”🇬🇧
53 Aircrew failed to return.

The random kindness of strangers never stops amazing us 🥲
This will make a massive difference to the bereaved children the hospice supports🙏🏻

Favourite pictures from yesterday adventures.

84 years ago today Fg Off Donald Garland & Sgt Thomas Gray of 12 Squadron were posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross for their bravery. These awards were the first Royal Air Force VCs of World War Two. I was privileged to see one of them at RAF Museum

Love this🥰
I got the best flag in the world out at the top of Gowbarrow Fell & a chap says, What’s going on here then? A very abridged version of the last 5 years of my life later and I get a donation🎉
They even live near RAF Coningsby & bought their home off a Red Arrows😎
