What The Dam Busters Did Next

The daring "Dam Busters" raid is undoubtedly one of the most famous in the history of the Second World War, changing the course of the conflict and becoming the subject of a great British blockbuster, alongside countless books.

But what did the elite fliers of No 617 Squadron do after Operation Chastise?

A new documentary provides insight into the spectacular missions undertaken by the squadron after the deployment of the famous bouncing bombs in 1943.

You can catch it on Forces TV - Sky Channel 264, Virgin 277, or Freesat 652 - on Tuesday 11th August at 8.30pm BST.
