Join us for a special opportunity to have a Bomber Command and Dambusters day with historian and author Chris Ward. After 30 years of research Chris is a walking, talking encyclopedia of Bomber Command having written 39 full wartime histories for Bomber Command Squadrons and he's also written more about the Dambusters than anyone else.
The Dambusters, Nothing but the truth tour expunges the perpetuated myths surrounding 617 Squadron and Operation Chastise, revealing the stories arising from my research at the relevant sites in Germany and the Netherlands. Your day will include admission to the Centre with morning coffee on arrival at 10am. You will meet with Chris who will begin with a tour of the Dambuster exhibits, before a lecture and Q&A in the briefing room, followed by lunch.
Chris has discovered crash sites of some of the Dam's raid aircraft during his research and can talk extensively about the raid. At the Centre we have a Barnes Wallis bouncing bomb, Guy Gibson's control column from his Dam's raid Lancaster, a Dann bomb site, one of the marbles used during Barnes Wallis's trials and also parts of crashed Dams raid Lancs so we are ideally positioned for him to be discussing the details of the famous raid. This is a must for any one interested in the Dambusters raid.
Numbers for the tour are limited so pre-booking is essential.
