Marking the 60th Anniversary of the Dambusters raid

To mark the 60th Anniversary of the Dambusters raid – the most daring and influential technological achievement of World War II – this Event Special has British engineers and pilots recreating the skills and ingenuity that enabled the original crews to strike at the heart of Germany’s military operation. Using only the equipment and the knowledge available of the time, the pilots must learn how to fly a WWII bomber at the dangerously low level of 60ft and drop and bounce a bomb successfully in order to destroy a dam.
