EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring sight of a Dambuster Lancaster bomber soaring triumphantly over the Derwent Valley Dam in Derbyshire. The legendary aircraft, belonging to the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF), pays homage to the brave men of 617 Squadron who trained in this very valley during World War II for their daring mission. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are transported back in time, reliving the heroic exploits of the Dambusters. It has been 65 years since these courageous aviators embarked on their audacious raid over wartime Germany, forever etching their names into history. The vintage aircraft stands as a symbol of resilience and determination, reminding us of the sacrifices made by those who fought valiantly for freedom during one of humanity's darkest hours. Its presence evokes a sense of pride and admiration for our armed forces. Sgt Graham Spark skillfully captured this momentous occasion with his lens, preserving it for generations to come.
