Dr Barnes Wallis was possessed with a seemingly crazy idea - the creation of a bouncing bomb designed to destroy the Ruhr dams and paralyse the enemy's industrial nerve centre. He fought persistent scepticism and disbelief that such a feat was possible though even with the matchless skill of RAF Wing Commander Guy Gibson and his squadron could such a mission succeed?
Went to the RAF Scampton museum yesterday to find out more about this incredible mission and the bravery of the air crews involved. Then went home to watch the DVD - the film was shot at the base which only adds to the realism as you step into their world. Excellent acting and a well balanced script really build up suspense as the mission unfolds. Thoroughly recommended.
