Dambusters2013 - My own ride, Part 2: .... The Start Event, hosted by RAF Scampton...


Our Start Event was hosted by the RAF Scampton Heritage Centre, which our riders were able to explore at their leisure including the wonderfully restored office of Wg Cdr Guy Gibson VC, leader of the Dambusters on their famous raid of May 1943.
 
At 11am we all went outside for the highlight of the visit to RAF Scampton, the flypasts by the Tornado GR4 fast jets of the current Dambusters. Sqdn Ldr Mark 'Jacko' Jackson was on hand to tell us all the 'Gen' ahead of the flypasts themselves.


 
and some videos to enjoy!
