About 1954, as a teenager I was at Grasmere for a weekend visit. All one afternoon, Avro Lancasters were flying down the valley, low over the lakes, then coming round again for yet another pass. Unknown to us at the time, they were being filmed for "The Dambusters" movie - it was an unforgettable experience.

I can imagine that sometimes a conversation in the RAF might go something like this: "Well, Flight Lieutenant, you have two duty choices: one is to transition to the F-35 Lightning, the most advanced aircraft in the RAF, and the other is to learn how to fly the Lanc.." "Lancaster!! Lancaster!! I'll fly the Lancaster!!" What a beautiful sight to see and hear-- Spitfire, Hurricane and two Lancasters.

The significance of the Puma helicopter in the video is that it flew across the dam to show the the actual height that the wartime Lancasters flew across the Eder, Mohne and Sorpe dams on their bombing mission. They had to be exactly seventy feet above the water on their bombing run for the bouncing bombs to work properly.

Nice side profiles of PA474 and FM213 instead of the typical black underbellies seen everywhere. The final shots of the RAF helicopter at the actual speed and altitude of 617's practice runs really shows how big those young crews' brass danglers were!

@bfmcarparts9 жыл бұрын
***** Hello Richard, Here's what caught my attention of young Jordan's portion of this video. There is a nice balance (50/50) of the sky and the hill background. It really emphasizes the fact that these aircraft are barely above the horizon, and these hills change their acoustics. On the second pass he made use of what he saw from the first pass and made the subject well-centered in the frame and as soon as FM213's nose appears around the valley wall, Jordan adjusted his focus from just PA474 to include both aircraft centered. Then as the aircraft fly by, he changed his attention from the aircraft to the environment they are flying in by panning out to include more scenery. Very smooth camera work here Jordan!

@@snapper8v yes I saw them all together at Waddington. I feel they missed a trick by not returning over Waddington once they had all formated. You had to go to the war memorial to see that, and the local police In their wisdom prevented anyone from leaving the car park we were in for what seemed like hours. Instead of allowing everyone out in one go and getting it over and done with, they dragged it out until it started to conflict with rush hour traffic. Totally unnecessary in my view,, and bad enough to take the shine off what was otherwise a very enjoyable and historic event. In fact that was one of the benefits of seeing the lancs at the dams iirc no police traffic control to spoil everything😊
