To mark the 60th anniversary of the raid on the Ruhr dams by 617 Squadron (The "Dambusters"), the UK's National Archives is holding a competition in which you can win a helicopter flight along the training route used by the crews. The National Archives has put key documents relating to the 16 May 1943 mission online for the first time, and visitors to the site can log on to enter the contest.
The site also contains drawings of the "bouncing bomb", log books and the first air reconnaissance photographs of the breached dams. The exhibition is online at: www.nationalarchives-dambusters.gov.uk - but hurry, the site is open for one month only and the competition closes on 13 June.
