This design is based on Lancaster “AJ-H” (serial number ED936) flown by Pilot Officer Geoffrey Rice, during Operation Chastise (also known as the “Dambusters Raid”). Operation Chastise was an attack on German dams carried out on the night of 16/17 May 1943 by 617 Squadron RAF Bomber Command, using special "bouncing bombs". Lancaster “AJ-H” was lucky to survive after they hit the sea while flying at low level towards the target. The impact caused the loss of the Upkeep mine, resulting in the mission being aborted and the aircraft returning to base.  

Lancaster “AJ-H” (ED936) Crew:
- Pilot, Pilot Officer Geoffrey Rice
- Flight Engineer Sergeant Edward Clarence Smith
- Navigator Flying Officer Richard MacFarlane
- Wireless Operator Warrant Officer Chester Bruce Gowrie
- Bomb Aimer Warrant Officer John William Thrasher
- Front Gunner Sergeant Thomas W Maynard
- Rear Gunner Sergeant Stephen Burns

 Right Sleeve: Full color Lancaster with RAF 617 Sqn motto: "Après moi, le déluge" (after me, the flood). 

✈ Left Sleeve: Aircraft Serial Number. During training for Operation Chastise, the aircraft involved had the suffix /G shown after the serial. This denoted the aircraft as “secret” and required guarding 24 hours a day. On the night of the mission, the /G was painted over which is why our t-shirts only show the aircraft serial number.
