Daring ‘dambuster’ mission remembered with flight [Published Yahoo! News - May 17 2013]

Mr Taylor, who used to work in the aircraft industry, said: "I was very impressed. The flying was superb. The raids were phenomenal and must have given the people heart during the war. "I think events like this make us remember the sacrifice those young lads made during the raid. They never got the recognition they deserved I don't think." John Porter, 35, from Manchester had gone along with his son Jack today. He said: "I thought it was important to come here today as it's part of our history isn't it?

The flypast is one of several events taking place to mark the anniversary of the raids."
