Today I was lucky enough to be shown the site where Norman Barlow’s AJ-E crashed on the Dams Raid, just outside Haldern in the Northern Rhineland area of Germany. My guide was Volker Schurmann, shown (above right) along with your humble scribe, who has been the first person to place a plaque on the site, and who is now campaigning to get a permanent memorial built.
More about this tomorrow!

Can we see a detail of the plaque and its words please?

What an amazing blog! Good to see such passion. I came here because I have justed posted a vaguely Dambuster-related RAF post on my own blog at http://lifeinbooks.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/dambusters-spitfire-pilots-and-things.html. But I’m impressed by the commitment of your blog (mine is still fairly young!)
