Very excited to be able to share a sneak peak of one of our latest acquisitions- An original war-time ‘Upkeep’ bouncing bomb! Invented and designed by the legendary engineer Barns Wallis, these bombs were used by the RAF in Operation Chastise, the attack on the Ruhr dams in Germany, May 1943. The raid was lead by the legendary Guy Gibson VC and immortalised in the movie ‘The Dam Busters’ staring Richard Todd. More info to follow, the the meantime, have a great Easter break an stay safe.
