It was on the night of the 16th / 17th May, 1943 that 617 Sqn completed a most dangerous and amazing mission. At 21:28, the first of 19 Lancasters departed. 06:15 on the 17th saw the last aircraft return.
Out of 19 aircraft, 11 returned (including 3 that returned earlier due to sustaining damage)

An incredible mission flown by incredibly brave men.
 
I have to agree with you there Colin some very brave YOUNG men indeed.
 
If you can get a copy, have a read of "What the Dambusters did next" by John Nichol (former Tornado navigator who was captured and held by the Iraqis during the first Gulf War in 1991). Alternatively see this great documentary:
