RAF Bottisham, July 1940; preparation of Operation Banquet (Light).

An instructor at Elementary Flying Training School 22 shows their flight plan to an LAC Pilot candidate, ahead of bombing training. Will his brick hit the target...?

It was a pleasure to be asked to display this interesting piece of 'what if' history to the public as part of Tail End Charlies LHG, with Bottisham's resident Tiger Moth. We very much look forward to expanding on the display in the future.
