    Anybody have a photo? I have a few Dambuster books, but don't recall ever seeing a picture.

    Terrible bad luck after flying all that way at low level and falling foul of High Tension Power Lines.

    Bring to mind a question I have had for a while:
    Were 617 Sqn aware of the locations of the HT lines/pylons along their flight route?
