willedoo Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 There's a change.org petition to award the last surviving Dambuster veteran, 95 year old George Johnson, with a knighthood. Give Britain's last surviving Dambuster hero a knighthood Cheers, Willie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deskpilot Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 In February, the QE2 arrives in Adelaide. On board will be a cousin of mine I've never met. She is co-owner of History | Petwood Hotel , the Dambuster's officers mess during the war. There's still a room dedicated to them. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Koreelah Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 617 Sqn achieved far more than just the dam raids. Their precision bombing was orders of magnitude more accurate than the standard of the day. They destroyed Hitler's channel guns and their bombs punched thru 25 metres of laminated concrete protecting U-Boat pens. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
