英格兰德比郡，二架二战时期的“兰开斯特”轰炸机编队低空飞越德温特水坝，以纪念1943年英国空军第617中队曾在此地进行训练，为日后击溃德国鲁尔工业区的默内-埃德尔水坝奠定了基础，这两架“兰开斯特”分别是来自英国空军不列颠战役纪念飞行表演队(BBMF) 的“兰开斯特”B1和来自加拿大军用飞机历史博物馆的“兰开斯特”B10。（Royal Air Force Benson - TWO LANCASTERS PAY TRIBUTE TO THE DAMBUSTERS – FLYPAST OVER DERWENT DAM. - 21 September 2014 - Corporal (Cpl) Neil Chapman，During the Second World War the Derwent Dam was used by pilots of 617 Squadron for practising the low-level flights needed for Operation Chastise (commonly known as the Dambusters raids), due to its similarity to the German dams. The Royal Air Force’s Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (RAF BBMF) is working together with Severn Trent Water because, this Sunday, the last two flying Lancasters will fly over the Derwent Dam for the first time in over 50 years – weather and aircraft serviceability permitting. This will be a very historic flypast, in a commemorative tribute to the Dambusters and all of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.）
