Lancaster over the Derwent Dam
Dwarfed by the millstone grit mass of the dam, a Lancaster bomber flies between the towers at the lower of the Derwent Reservoir in the Peak District of England: one of the locations used by 617 Squadron when training for the operation against German dams in 1943, and regularly used in commemorative flypasts by the RAF Memorial Flight.
This is a Flight Artworks reconstruction of the scene.
