65th Anniversary of the Dambusters

I went to Derwent Dam in Derbyshire to witness the RAF’s Battle of Britain Memorial Flight’s (BBMF) Avro Lancaster fly over the reservoir to commemorate the 65th Anniversary of the Dambuster raids.

Lancaster Bomber over Derwent

I didnt get the best viewpoint and my best pics are ones with the plane flying away from me from north to south over the reservoirs. I wish I’d been on Derwent edge like those you can see in the photo. I’d have used a long lens and got it flying over the dam wall.

Messed around in Lightroom for this one

The Lancaster was followed by a Spitfire XIX (PS915) and Hurricane IIc (LF363 YB-W) for three fly-pasts.
