On the night of 16-17 May 1943, the RAF's 617 Squadron carried out an audacious bombing raid attacking dams serving the Ruhr valley, leaving German factories and mines badly damaged. Help us to commemorate the 80th anniversary of this daring raid by sponsoring our cycle ride.

Craig's grandfather, my father Cyril Roberts proudly served Queen and Country in the 1950s during the Malayan Emergency. He was a bomb armourer on Lincoln Bombers. I have friends whos fathers served in the RAF and made the ultimate sacrifice. The RAF Benevolent fund did amazing things for the families of those brave men and women. Please spare the odd pound or dollar if you can. Thank you ever so much.
