Dambusters remembered 65 years on
A Lancaster bomber flew three times past Derwent dam in Derbyshire to mark the 65th anniversary of the Dambusters raid.



The Derwent dam was used by the RAF's 617 Squadron to train for their mission to destroy three German dams.

Sqn Ldr Les Munro, the last surviving pilot from the mission, flew from New Zealand to take part in the ceremony.
