Dambusters final flight

An RAF squadron famous for carrying out one of the most daring raids of the Second World War has flown its final Afghanistan mission.

More than 70 years after its creation, the RAF’s 617 Squadron, known as ‘The Dambusters’, has completed its last operational mission as a Tornado squadron with a flight in the skies over Afghanistan.
