Description
"The Ruhr Dams Raid, officially known as Operation Chastise, was a daring low-level bombing mission carried out
by the RAF's 617 Squadron on the night of 16–17 May 1943.
Led by Wing Commander Guy Gibson, the "Dam Busters" targeted three major dams in Germany’s industrial
heartland to disrupt water and power supplies vital to the Axis war effort"
This was a project I decided to take on over the weekend.
I have included all aircraft serials that took part in the Raid apart from AJ-G which is already included in
the AH Lancaster pack.
Slight modification the positioning of the Roundels and Codes so they are closer to a symmetrical standard.
Due to the size of the files, fitting 18 repaints into 1 pack was impossible so I have split them into 3 packs
according to each wave of the raid. This is pack 3.
Included in this pack is the third wave of the Operation which has the following serials...
ED864/G AJ-B Flt Lt Bill Astell 3rd Wave (Mobile Reserve)
ED865/G AJ-S Plt Off Lewis Burpee 3rd Wave (Mobile Reserve)
ED918/G AJ-F Flt Lt Ken Brown 3rd Wave (Mobile Reserve)
ED866/G AJ-O Sgt Bill Townsend 3rd Wave (Mobile Reserve)
ED924/G AJ-Y Sgt Cyril Anderson 3rd Wave (Mobile Reserve)
