My dad is really interested in WWII and is always reading something about it so we sent him on the Dambusters Helicopter Tour so he could get some firsthand experience. He really enjoyed his helicopter flight and hearing all about the Lancasters' flight he said the views were incredible too.

I managed to resist humming the Dambusters theme for the whole time on this helicopter trip - quite an acheivement! All jokes aside it was a brilliant tour flying over all the sights and finding out about the wartime fighter pilots and the RAF training that went on over here.
