Absolutely agree - an amazing aircraft and the noise it makes when it flies past is out of this world.

Indeed it is. And I am very proud to have gone to a school that was heavily associated with the dambusters.

I watched from the hills above Derwent water on the last fly past I think for the 50th anniversary, awesome sight.

Totally agree with all comments above.

I saw the 'Battle of Britain Flight' at the Yeovilton Air Day last year, the sound and sight of them was truly amazing.

They did. Two dams were breached and one was heavily damaged.

My dear willd, I am well aware of the efficacy of British air power as regards the Dambusters.

I was referring to this actual anniversary flyover, goofball. Would have been much more entertaining, don't you agree, to actually blow up that dam?

Cockpit transcript: 'You want historical re-enactment...heh-heh...we'll give you historical re-enactment...'

But surely that would have been on the news? I must run that video clip again.

I'd rather focus on the fact that two great minds were thinking so much alike, sir. [oo]
