Product Description
Final Briefin by Anthony Saunders
Overall Print Size: 26 1/2" x 19 3/4"
Edition size of 350
S/N by Artist and One (1) ground crew
RAF Scampton: 16 May 1943 20.55 hrs - Guy Gibson readies his crew to climb inside their waiting Lancaster – AJ-G ‘George’. A red flare will soon curl skywards, burning brightly against the sun’s fast-fading rays; it is the signal to start engines and at 21.39 G-George will get airborne, leading the first wave of three aircraft. For the crews of 617 Squadron the weeks of intensive training were now over – Operation Chastise was underway.
Signed by Artist and Corporal MAUREEN STEVENS WAAF
Corporal Stevens served as the duty operator in the main control tower throughout the Raid, relaying information from the aircrews to the senior Commanders. She talked the surviving crews back to Scampton and also had the sad task of listening out till the last for those who didn't make it home.
