The third and final wave of the five aircraft attack as part of the Dambusters raid set off after midnight. They were used as a reserve force that would be directed to targets where the earlier waves had failed to achieve their objective https://t.co/7c0seusawu #Dambusters75

Off to see this tonight at my local cinema. Greatest film ever made. I can't even begin to explain the impact that this film has had on my life. Remember first watching it aged about 5 with my grandparents. #Dambusters75

Gordon Yeo from Barry, a gunner on the Dambusters raid, was among those who never came back. Today we salute him, and all who took part in the raid. Find out more about the RAF of today at the #RAF100 Aircraft Tour at Cardiff City Hall 18-20 May. #Dambusters75
