What a hero.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/new...mbuster-i-d-do-it-again
Fantastic to hear that the RAF’s famous 627 Dambusters Squadron has been re-formed, this time with Britain’s state-of-the-art F-35 Lightning, which are arriving later this year...

Interesting that the Avro Lancaster cost was around £42,000. The F-35 cost is around £90 million

Yes indeed a great man and an absolute hero. Fantastic to see 617 Squadron being reformed, never should have been disbanded in my opinion and £42,000 for one Lancaster in the '40s must have seemed a very large sun of money at the time .... but what an aeroplane!
