Dambusters - Goner 58A 

by Robert Taylor

Special Gift For Wings Customers!

Robert Taylor’s dramatic work in graphite and paint depicts a moment during Flight Lieutenant Mick Martin’s attack on the Möhne Dam. With two attacks already made Martin, flying AJ-P, releases his Upkeep while Gibson in Lancaster AJ-G flies off his starboard beam in an attempt to draw some of the enemy flak. It was unsuccessful; his radio operator tapping out ‘Goner-5-8-A’ (the code for - ‘Special weapon released’) ‘exploded 50 yards from target’ -‘no apparent breach’ - ‘target A’.
