Lancaster AJ-F, piloted by Canadian Ken Brown, powering away from the Sorpe Dam as a huge plume of water erupts behind it.

This was the second and final attack on the impenetrable dam which just a few hours earlier was attacked by ‘Johnny’ Johnson’s Lancaster AJ-T. Both aircraft scored direct hits.

Each of the above editions is issued with a signed copy of "The Last British Dambuster."

Britain’s last surviving Dambuster and one of the very few men who can recall first-hand the most daring and ingenious air raid of all time – relives the fateful night of 16 / 17 May 1943.

He recalls with unique wit and insight the difficult training conducted in secrecy, the race against time to release the bombs, and the sheer strength and bravery shown by a small unit faced with great adversity and uncertainty. Embodying a whole squadron, and leaving a lasting legacy for generations to come, 'Johnny’s' story is like no other.
