Spitfire ace takes Dambusters helicopter flight

Flying over the site where the famous ‘Dambusters’ trained for what would become one of the Second World War’s most celebrated missions is a special experience for anyone. But, for pensioner John, a 95-year-old former Spitfire instructor, it was especially poignant to visit the spot where his heroic RAF colleagues rehearsed for that daring raid.

We recently had the pleasure of taking John and his family aboard our Bell 206 Long Ranger for a private Dambusters helicopter flight of 60 minutes, which headed north-west to follow the route of the Dambusters squadron down the Derwent Valley and over the stunning twin dams.
