@Scotlandteam Can you provide the Scottish ruby link to officially resell tickets for today’s match. Unfortunately unable to travel today and can see no options to sell onwards despite searching online? Thanks
OC S/L Delaney is proud that his daughter, Flt Lt Charlie Link has been awarded the BWPA’s ‘Jackie Moggridge Cup’ for career achievements. Charlie was 1st cadet to solo in the vigilant at RAF Woodvale and is currently only female instructor to gain A1 in gliding. @fts_2 🎉🎉
Happy heavenly birthday to Roger - seen here with #briancranston from #breakingbad - he’d recently seen the box set and couldn’t wait to tell Brian how brilliant he thought the show was! Gone but never forgotten.
Tonight, we remember the bravery, determination, and sacrifice of the men of 617 Sqn who, 80 years ago this very night, undertook the daring #Dambusters mission. Many of them paid the ultimate price for the mission's success. They will not be forgotten.
Today, we solemnly remember and honour the awe-inspiring Operation 'Chastise', the remarkable Dambusters Raid that unfolded exactly 80 years ago on this day in 1943.

So important to mark the service and sacrifice off those of Bomber Command. They served to protect our freedom. The Men of the Dams installation pays tribute to those who failed to return.
16 May 1943. Launch of Operation Chastise, attack on German dams by RAF 617 Squadron, subsequently known as the "Dambusters". Nineteen Lancasters took off from RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, England, beginning at 9:28 p.m.
Today marks the 80th anniversary of Operation Chastise, the famous Dambusters raid launched by the @RoyalAirForce during the Second World War.
The Avro Lancaster of the @RAFBBMF is touring the skies of the UK in honour of all those who served.

This evening we’ll be taking to the skies to fly over the Lincolnshire Bomber Command bases to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the Operation Chastise. We couldn’t be more honoured to provide this flypast to remember the events of the 16th-17th May 1943.
Lest We Forget.
As you enjoy your dinner tonight, as you look at your family, think back 80 years when 133 young men took to the skies.
53 #Dambusters were killed this night. & 3 PoW.
Only 48 of that 133 would survive WW2.
The sacrifice of Bomber Command across the war is unrivalled.
RIP gents.
As the Coronation weekend draws to a close, my wife and I just wanted to share our most sincere and heartfelt thanks to all those who have helped to make this such a special occasion.
We pay particular tribute to the countless people who have given their time and dedication to ensuring that the celebrations in London, Windsor and further afield were as happy, safe and enjoyable as possible.
To those who joined in the celebrations - whether at home, at street parties and lunches, or by volunteering in communities - we thank you, each and every one.
To know that we have your support and encouragement, and to witness your kindness expressed in so many different ways, has been the greatest possible Coronation gift, as we now rededicate our lives to serving the people of the United Kingdom, the Realms and Commonwealth.
