  • Crew Members: AJ-F (For Freddie)
    April 2019 Issue 01 VM1904C This is the first time we have had such a fantastic selection of signed Dambuster covers. I have included each crew member, even though some may not have signed. I am sure many of you will not be able to resist!! On the night of 16-17 May 1943, Wing Commander Guy Gibson led 617 Squadron, later called the Dambusters, of the Royal Air Force on a bombing raid to destroy three dams in the Ruhr valley, the industrial heartland of Germany. The mission was codenamed Operation ‘Chastise’. The dams were fiercely protected. Torpedo nets in the water stopped underwater attacks and anti-aircraft guns defended them against enemy bombers. But 617 Squadron had a secret weapon: the ‘bouncing bomb’, which was developed by Barnes Wallis. The surviving aircrew of 617 Squadron were lauded as heroes, and Guy Gibson was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions during the raid. The raid also established 617 Squadron as a specialist precision bombing unit, experimenting with new bomb sights, target marking techniques and colossal new ‘earthquake’ bombs developed by Barnes Wallis.

I am sure you will join me in wishing them an interesting and fulfilling time during Jock’s posting to Jordan. Even more thanks to Stuart Greenland for taking up the post of treasurer (just as soon as NatWest sorts its paperwork out). I would like to make a plea to all members to ensure that they pay the full subscription of £10 to ease the treasurer’s workload - it is six years since we increased the subscription from £8 and still we have members who have not updated their standing orders. The other problem we have is members not advising us when they move house or change their email address. The membership secretary, Bill Williams and I have spent the last few months chasing up members who have disappeared from our radar over recent years, and updating the membership list.
