Here we see the fantastic Westmorland Green Slate and Yorkshire Sandstone monument tribute to
Squadron 617, "Dambusters".

Needless to say that the green slate in the centre depicts the bursting dam.
It was unveiled on 17th May 1987, exactly 44 years after the raid from which the Squadron got its name.

A night-time shot of the monument.

This was erected in the town centre of Woodhall Spa near to where the "Dambusters" used to frequent the local hostelries!

This Blue Pearl monument erected at
Skellingthorpe bears the words

My brief sweet life is over
My eyes no longer see
No christmas trees
No summer walks
No pretty girls for me
I've got the chop I've had it
My nightly Ops are done
Yet in another hundred years
I'll still be twenty one

R. W. Gilbert

Here we see the East Kirkby monument from April 1999. This areodrome straddles the Greenwich Meridian - the inscription reads:-

To all those
that crossed the Meridian
for our
freedom of body and spirit
May their effort
never be wasted
