The Dambusters by Ivan Berryman. Lancasters of 617 Sqn Dambusters get airborne from their Scampton base at the start of their journey to the Ruhr Valley on the night of 16th May 1943 under the codename Operation Chastise. These are aircraft of the First Wave, led by Wing Commander Guy Gibson, the Second Wave having already departed some ten minutes earlier to negotiate a more northerly route to their targets. On this momentous night, both the Möhne and Eder dams were successfully breached, whilst the Sorpe was also hit, but without serious damage. Of the nineteen aircraft that took part in the mission, eleven returned safely. |
The Spirit of Scampton by Roy Garner. The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, The Red Arrows, perform a roll in Lancaster formation over their base at RAF Scampton, the spiritual home of the famous 617 Squadron Dambusters Lancasters. Each print is signed by the 2009 Red Arrows Team. |
Tonight We Make History by Keith Aspinall. Guy Gibson, Micky Martin and John Hopgood outward bound from Scampton on the evening of 16th May 1943. |
Ruby Reds by Robert Tomlin. The nine aircraft perform the classic Diamond Nine formation that has become their trademark. Since their formation in 1965, this classic shape has been an integral part of their spellbinding, exciting, and dynamic programmes. To celebrate their 40th season, the official 2004 team-autographed limited edition print depicts this unmistakable formation flying over their home base of RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, paying homage to a line up of 7 Gnats in front of the hangar. This picture contains some remarkable detail, with each of the teams own cars lined up in the parking area in front of the building and even Jezs two black labradors frolicking on the grass! The concept for the picture was originally the idea of David Thomas (Synchro Leader 2004) and was then subject to individual approval by all concerned. |
