Probably the most famous RAF Squadron in history, mainly due to the audacious Dambuster raid in 1943. Other notably successful missions flying their Avro Lancaster bombers included precision raids on the mighty German battleship Tirpitz, U-boat pens, railways, V-weapons sites, canals and bridges. Through their skill and bravery 617 Sqn. crews received many high honours including V.Cs for Wing Commander Guy Gibson and Wing Commander Leonard Cheshire.
Signed by at least two 617 Sqn. pilots, four other 617 aircrew,
Wing Commander W. Tait DSO*** DFC* (deceased)
and
Sqn Ldr. Tony Iveson DFC (deceased).
