Teams to search Scottish loch for 'Dambusters' bouncing bombs

Teams to search Scottish loch for 'Dambusters' bouncing bombs - The Scotsman
"DIVERS will this summer search a Scots loch for dozens of bouncing bombs dropped in a training exercise ahead of the famous Second World War Dambusters raid.

The raid, led by Wing Commander Guy Gibson, took place on 16 May 1943, when Lancaster bombers from the RAF's 617 Squadron dropped the bomb, codenamed, on the Mohne, Sorpe and Eder Dams in the Ruhr Valley."

What brave men!
What a fabulous movie!
