You will retrace the route of the famous 617 Squadron's training run as they practised their low-level flying, to perfect their 'dambusting' technique over the twin towers.

 
On a 45 mile Dambusters flight from The Moorlands, Owler Bar, Sheffield (site no.12) passengers also view Chatsworth House from the air gaining an unrivalled view of this magnificent stately home and surrounding estate.  
Enjoy a flight of approximately 20 or 30 minutes, reaching a height of 1500 feet, to obtain an unrivalled view of some of the Peak District's most breathtaking scenery, before proceeding alongside the Ladybower, Derwent and Howden dams themselves.  
You will gain a unique insight into the skill and bravery of the 617 Squadron in their Lancaster Bombers, as they prepared for their daring mission to destroy the Mohne and Eder dams in Germany's Ruhr Valley during World War II.

It is very sad at the end of 2012 to inform friends that Joe Calverley, our very own ‘Dambuster’ passed away on Friday 21st Dec. at the age of 90. It had been an honour to fly Joe twice in the co-pilot seat, on our ‘Dambuster’s Run’, firstly to celebrate his 85th birthday and secondly in 2011 when we did a flight for the ex-617 Squadron member, which was featured in the Derbyshire Life magazine. Please click here for more info or click here for an article on Joe by Derbyshire Life.
