Here's a very good history on the whole operation, but I can see no mention of Fillingham Lake - http://www.war-experience.org/his...yaspects/damsraid0543/default.asp

The Building Research Station at Garston, where the model was built is apparently near Watford.

Was Fillingham Lake used for the making of the movie?

And again from Wikipedia.

... I bet the families of the German civilians that died 'cause of that catastrophe are not too happy about the anniversary.

i had a phone call from grandad just before heartbeat, saying that he got to go in the lancaster which is owned by the guys who live on a farm, and taxi it up and down, but it cant fly. he said they all got to go in all the different possitions, taxi up and down in it, have lunch in the naffi, have a ride on the recovery truck, go in the museum. sounded right good fun.

I said to mother, I dunno why but whenever I hear a Lancaster flying over I always feel rate queer! She were like "You're maybe re-incarnated (or whatever it is) from the last war!"

I were like "O aye"

Anyways, it were hard trying to photograph it, but I'm quite pleased with some of these!!

I love watching the Warbirds fly, last fall in Columbus Ohio, about three hours drive from here, there was a gathering of over 150 P51 Mustangs, I can not describe the sound of so many Merlins in operation at the same time.
