Step back in time and experience a unique flight inspired by the legendary Dambusters Raid. On 16 May 1943, 19 Lancaster bombers from RAF Scampton set out on a daring mission, flying at just 60 feet using innovative spotlight technology to maintain their height over the water. This unforgettable 60-minute experience includes approximately 18–20 minutes of exhilarating flying time, giving you the chance to follow in their path while soaking up incredible views. You will soar over the breathtaking Peak District National Park, taking in iconic sights such as Chatsworth House, the dramatic Mam Tor, and Ladybower Reservoir in the Derwent Valley, the very location where RAF crews trained for the mission during World War II. After your flight, unwind and reflect on the experience with a delicious cream tea, making this a perfect blend of history, scenery, and indulgence.
