BREACHING THE DAM - Framed Collectors Piece
by Nicolas Trudgian
On the night of 16th May 1943, a small force of 19 Lancaster bombers from 617 Sqn set forth from RAF Scampton to embark on a mission that would live on in the history books for eternity. Under the command of Wing Commander Guy Gibson they achieved what Bomber Command supremo, Arthur Harris, had earlier described as impossible: They breached the mighty dams in Westphalia, causing massive disruption to industry and the re-deployment of troops and workers.
Recreating events on the night of the raid, Nick's rare piece depicts a pivotal moment as Guy Gibson's Lancaster he skims the dam’s flak tower whilst attacking the Möhne.
This spectacular print is framed to include replica medals of the leader of the Dambusters raid Wg Cdr GUY GIBSON, and is also embellished by some of the most famous men who took part in the Dambuster raids:
- Flight Lieutenant Edward Johnson DFC
- Sergeant Ray Grayston
- Sergeant Douglas Webb DFM
- Squadron Leader Ken Brown CGM
- Corporal Beck Parsons
- Air Marshal Sir Harold 'Mick' Martin KCB CB DSO* DFC* AFC
- Sir BARNES WALLIS CBE FRS RDI FRAeS
- Flight Lieutenant George Chalmers DFC DFM
