    133 aircrew in 19 Avro Lancaster Mk. III aircraft loaded with the ingenious bouncing 4100 kg bombs designed by Barnes Wallis, departed RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire in the evening of 16 May,1943 to attack the Möhne, Eder and Sorpe dams in Germany. Successful attacks were made on the Möhne and Eder dams but the Sorpe dam sustained only minor damage. A secondary target of the Ennepe dam did not occur as the pilot mistakenly attacked the nearby Bever dam.

    The return to RAF Scampton was not without incident as two aircraft failed to return including 'A' for Apple on which Flying Officer Vincent Sanford MacCAUSLAND was the bomb aimer. He and the other six members of his crew are buried in the Bergen General Cemetery, Bergen. North Holland, NL

    8 aircraft did not return to RAF Scampton meaning that 53 airmen were deceased and 3 captured.
