The last Lancaster to come home from the Rhur dams raid on this morning of May 17th 1943 was piloted by Flt Sgt Bill Townsend,

Here he is nearly on the ground with the sun coming up behind him as he fly,s his Lancaster over the Dutch coast at 60ft to avoid flack and anti aircraft fire on his way out to the North sea heading home to RAF Scampton, these men deserve the highest of respect in book for what they did,
