Hopefully it will all be bought by a museum, so that it can be put on display for everybody to enjoy. It would be a real pity for this piece of history to end up in a private collection where nobody will be able to appreciate the ingenuity that went into probably the most famous bombing raid of WWII.

Well! I remember the old school, just a mile or two away from me, it was knocked down in the 1970's. I had no idea there was "Dam Busters" connection.
Dambuster site sells for a bargain

A sight used to guide the "bouncing bomb" that breached the Mohne dam in the Dambusters raid of 1943 has sold at auction for £41,500.
A nice bit of memorabilia for someone.
