After the 617 Sqdn Tornado GR4 and its commemorative paintwork had been unveiled to the waiting press cameras, the BBC's Dan Snow was taken for a flight which included a flypast at the Derwent Dam, much used by the 1943 Dambusters for training. This sequence is based around that flight ...
The pilot was Sqdn Ldr Mark 'Jacko' Jackson, Flight Commander with 617 Sqdn.
All set ....
Canopy closed ...
Taxi ....
Past the line up of Typhoons ....
before waiting for runway clearance ...
..to allow a Typhoon to go through doing circuits ...
Rolling ....
Builing speed ...
As Dan Snow said himself .... a chance in a lifetime ...
617 Sqdn are great supporters of Dambusters2013, a commemorative charity motorcycle ride in support of Help for Heroes and Motorcycle Outreach. To find out more and to get involved go to www.dambusters2013.org.uk
