Wow, what a day! Thank you @RAFBenson for your support. Over 2000 @aircadets and volunteers, 942 cadets flown, elements of The King’s Birthday Flypast and @RoyalAirForce enablers.

What a way to sign off on such a fantastically inspiring Muster @RAFBenson - well over 2,000 @aircadets, volunteers & staff on parade, DCAS @RichMaddisonRAF taking the salute, 2 cadets lowering the @RoyalAirForce Ensign, and a Puma flypast completing the sunset ceremony - epic!

[OC 617 Squadron @OC617Sqn]

Thank you to all who took time to remember the ingenuity, bravery & loss associated with the Dams Raid. The current Dambusters are deployed & training to cutting edge tactics keeping the foundation on which we were founded alive today. We will remember them. Apres Moi Le Deluge.

[RAF Cosford @RAF_Cosford]

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.

[ACM Harv Smyth @ChiefofAirStaff]
