"The Lancaster Bomber was used in the war to drop the bouncing bomb. The RAF practice for the attack on the dams in Germany's Ruhr Valley at Ladybower Reservoir not far from where I live. These dams were used by Dr. Barnes Wallis and his team to test his bouncing bomb and the film 'The Dam Busters' telling this interesting story was shot here." A.Wrigley
