My father’s first squadron as a new engineer was 617 “dambuster” squadron out of RAF Waddington in the early 60s, he always said it was the proudest period of his service and hevdid 30 years. I was born during his tour grew up to be an RAF Regt Officer. My family is steeped in service in the RAF but none so illustrious as Guy Gibson’s 617 squadron.
