What a way to sign off on such a fantastically inspiring Muster @RAFBenson - well over 2,000 @aircadets, volunteers & staff on parade, DCAS @RichMaddisonRAF taking the salute, 2 cadets lowering the @RoyalAirForce Ensign, and a Puma flypast completing the sunset ceremony - epic!

Thank you to all who took time to remember the ingenuity, bravery & loss associated with the Dams Raid. The current Dambusters are deployed & training to cutting edge tactics keeping the foundation on which we were founded alive today. We will remember them. Apres Moi Le Deluge.

Tonight, we remember the bravery, determination, and sacrifice of the men of 617 Sqn who, 80 years ago this very night, undertook the daring #Dambusters mission. Many of them paid the ultimate price for the mission's success. They will not be forgotten.

This evening we’ll be taking to the skies to fly over the Lincolnshire Bomber Command bases to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the Operation Chastise. We couldn’t be more honoured to provide this flypast to remember the events of the 16th-17th May 1943. Lest We Forget.
