Artist's Description
617 Squadron rehearsed for Operation Chastise, the attack on the Ruhr dams in May 1943, by practising low flying at night on three reservoirs in England in particular: the Derwent, the Eyebrook, and this one - then newly built, Abberton Reservoir in Essex and referred to in the squadron's records as "Colchester Lake". Improbably, given the landscape, it was the substitute for the primary target at the Mohnesee. The specially adapted Type 464 (Provisioning) Lancaster bombers were flown at just 60ft above the water - purely by eye until spotlights were devised, converging at the correct height.
This is a smaller version of the original very wide picture, as I realise not everyone has the wall space!
