This evocative picture of a Lancaster bomber was taken during a commemorative fly-past to honor the airmen killed during the famous "Dam Busters" raid during the 2nd world war. The picture was taken at the Derwent Reservoir and dam in Derbyshire, England, which is where the training took part for the actual raid and where the airmen practiced their low-flying technique, essential for the success of the operation. The site was chosen because of it's similarity to the German dams.
There is a plaque on the dam commemorating the heroics of 617 Squadron (many of whom were Canadian).
Originally from Manchester in England, but now live near the foot of the Pennines, regarded as one of the most scenic areas of outstanding natural beauty in Great Britain. It's a great place to live for a photographer, but as you can see from my galleries I like to venture further afield occasionally. I have been a photographer for over 30 years, and always remember the best piece of photographic advice I was given. Some years ago I worked with a very elderley and wise photographer and he said to me on one occasion "you are looking but not seeing". That has always stuck with me, and I try and remember it each time I look through the viewfinder. Thank you for visiting, and I hope you find something here you like. Please enjoy your...

Great shot. I really like the composion of the photo. Glad you left in so much of the sky. It makes the plane seem lonlier and so small in the vastness of the sky.

David Birchall replied:
Hi Sandi, I'm well thanks, hope you are to. Thank you for your visit and kind words, I was pleased with this one. I waited 4 hours to see the Lancasters but it was well worth it, a brilliant tribute to what those brave airmen did years ago.
