The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Lancaster Bomber based at RAF Coningsby flew over Derwent Dam in the Peak District this afternoon. The event re-creates and commemorates the famous 617 Squadron "Dambusters" Operation "Chastise" during the Second World War. We didn’t have anybody on the ground but we did have a Royal Air Force Photographer in the nose and the rear gun turret. It’s a bumpy ride but worth it!! #battleofbritainmemorialflight #lancasterbomber #royalairforceconingsby #derwentdam

Derwent Dam gained historical significance during World War II as it was used for training the “Dambusters” of the Royal Air Force (RAF). The RAF’s 617 Squadron practiced low-level flying and precision bombing techniques here, which were later employed in the famous Operation Chastise, targeting dams in Germany’s industrial Ruhr Valley. Today, Derwent Dam is not only an important water source but also a unique attraction. Its scenic surroundings, including the picturesque Upper Derwent Valley, d

Running down the Derwent valley over the Ladybower reservoir, commemorating the Dambusters. 617 squadron practiced here (as well as other dams) in the lead up to their historic mission on 16/17th May 1943. Flying a Lancaster at just 60ft over the water. We had to be mindful of the 500ft rule this time, but what a trip this was! To fly in the slipstream of heroes in the magnificent Harvard.

The Derwent Dam sits quietly in the Peak District, its calm waters once used to rehearse one of World War II's most daring missions. In 1943, air crews from RAF 617 Squadron trained here to master low-level flying and precision attacks before the raids on Germany's Ruhr dams. The shape of the dam and the surrounding valleys closely matched their targets, turning a peaceful landscape into a proving ground for risk. Today, the stone walls and the still water give little hint of the pressure carrie

Derwent Dam does not conquer the valley; it belongs to it - and whilst it's spilway is one of the most powerful structures to experience up close, you can't help but feel at ease around it. Magical. Filmed during my hike up over Derwent Edge yesterday! #derwentdam #peakdistrict #ladybowerreservoir #ukhiking
