Reservoir dam

[Silverz]

This is the Dam at Derwent reservoir in Derbyshire, England.

During the Second World War the reservoir was used by pilots of the 617 Squadron for practising the low-level flights needed for Operation Chastise (commonly known as the "Dam Busters" raids), due to its similarity to the German dams.

Gorgeous shot, Silverz! As an aviation history buff, I find that very fascinating about the trainging missions. I have heard of Dam Busters, but never knew where it originated. Thanks very much for sharing that little tidbit! Very nice shot!
