On this day in history

[Davedog74]

15th september 1940,two successive raids on london intended to destroy what the luftwaffe believed were the last remnants of fighter command.

Whilst I know the Norwegian contingent are celebrating their national day today, it's also the anniversary of one of Britains most ingenious and daring bomber raids of WW2.
On May 17th 1943 617squadron carried out the Dambuster raids. Here's to the memory of the Brits, Canadians and New Zealanders that took part in those raids. And a glass raised to Barnes Wallace for his persistence.
