The public are being invited to recreate the Dambusters raid aboard a Lancaster Bomber in a new virtual reality experience.
Users are transported through the historic moment, with the ability to see inside and outside the aircraft as it attacks the Mohne Dam, at the Royal Air Force Museum London. ‘Operation Chastise’ took place in the early hours of May 17, 1943, destroying three heavily-protected dams in the Ruhr valley.The museum enlisted its team of historians to make Dambusters: Immersive Histories as historically accurate as possible. It is based on real people and events aboard a No. 617 Squadron Lancaster Bomber during Operation Chastise, piloted by Wing Commander Guy Gibson.
A total 19 aircraft and 133 aircrew took part in the raid, and 53 died. Many hundreds of civilians were killed.
