Excuse me Mr Wallis but a young gentleman by the name of Guy Gibson is here at your request.

Thanks Margaret show him in please.

Hi Guy it been some time since I saw you last in 1944? if I remember correctly.

I must take this opportunity to say how sadden I was on that 19th September 1944 to learn of your death and that of your collegue James Wallace in the crash of your Mosquito.

However a man of your courage and immense dedication to saving the free world while remembered especially by the Dutch in Steenbergen where the Straat's (streets) in that now industrial estate are named after your plane and indeed yourself and Mr Warwick, has lead me to ask that you do one more favour.

I have heard that a group of three Australian motorcycle riders are tracing the history and infact the pathway to your epic mission as Squadon Leader of what has become known as Squad 617 The Dambusters.

Apparently one of these chaps is ex Military a Major I think, who has had a fascinsation of and appreciation of these raids since an early age.

I was wondering Mr Gibson if you could recount the details of Operation Chastise from that fateful night of May 16 1943.

Well Mr Barnes my mission would not have been possible if it was not for your work in developing the type of bombs that my 19 Avro Lancaster bombers were equipped with.

So lets take them on a journey first to our homeland here in England.

Our mission was to take out three dams, the Mohne,Eder and the Sorpe in Western Germany.

Well Sir, Please just call me Guy as like Guy Martin, the motorcycle racer, whose Father named him after me, I am a somewhat quiet and reserved person.

Well ok Guy but I still think a man who did so much to slow the German war effort in the Industrial Ruhr Valley should be respected and you did receive The Victoria Cross from King George VI himself that Sir is appropiate.

Mr Wallis Barnes you too Sir developed what was known as a 4200kg"Bouncing Bomb, that worked where normal bombs would not have been able to be delivered on the target by literally bouncing along the surface of a large body of water,avoiding torpedo netting, until impacting on the dam wall,under water, to create a fracture with nature adding to a gush of water that breached these walls.

True Mr Gibson and yes I was knighted for my many contributions both during and after the war in the development of the F111 Fighter for the US and here in Europe the Panavia Tornado.

Mr Wallis do you think these Australian know of your contribution in their own country? Mr Gibson, that's enough you know very well my disapointment that all my ideas for the Parkes radio telescope where almost thrown out but then reincorporated later,hence my non acceptance of my consultants fee of 1000GBR

Please back to helping our Australian friends Mr Gibson, my past is now consigned to history.

Lets send these people to The Peak District where they can visit the Derwent Reservoir and see that location where your Lancasters practised the precision needed to lay the Bouncing Bomb at the dam wall.

Then we will send them to Germany to see the actual dam locations , first lets book them into Bad Emstal that will give them a short ride through the farming areas so they can also appreciate that when 11 of your 19 aircraft arrived at the targets what the destruction was aimed at as well as the factories that were flooded downstream.

Yes the Edersee Dam was perhaps our greatest outcome in that May 1943 raid as the bomb that hit the target created a massive breach estimated at some 70m in width and put a 22m deep hole in the dam wall allowing massive amounts of water to flow out destroying crops indeed removing top soil that took years to be replaced and as stated in the outline of the operation to disrupt the hyro electricity generators and physically destroy factories downstream.

Mr Gibson I think you sell your team short as surely the attack on Mohne Dam near Dortmund was the 617 Squadons crowning glory?

True Sir we did manage finally to land a bomb on the target Yes but at a civilian cost of over 1580 people and like the Eder forced labour by the Germans saw both dams reconstructed in months rather then years.

So lets book them in Sudern for the night and they can walk to and over the wall of the Sorpe. Afterall it was not breached despite a total of 10 bombing runs. Correct Sir but remember it unlike the other two is constructed of a earth wall and we did have a different bomb plus the fact that we had to fly across the wall not directly towards it as we did in the other two attacks.

Ok lets not argue but now join the trio at Steenbergen in the Netherlands to complete the story.

Hi Mr Pearson isnt it? Yes I am here to see this last step in The Dambusters story. Gee Sorry but we have already taken your friends to the Cemetry where Guy and James Warwick rest at a War Grave side by side. You know if it wasn't for Guy's father his body would have been sent home to England.

We also took them to Mosquitostraad where on the night of 19th September at 22.45 Mr Gibson & Wallis crashed,when part of 627 Squadon while returning from a bombing raid in Germany at Rheydt & Monchengladbach, and were killed in the ensuring fire. The citizens have erected a Bronze plague and eteched a Union Jack in the footpath at that location. My apologies you missed the final instalment but I'm sure you maybe able to make your own arrangements.
