When the film makers initially asked him to provide music, he turned them down, before relenting and providing the March as an overture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dam_Busters_March Wartime aircrew wouldn't have the foggiest idea about it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed so, I can only imagine that their, latter day, reaction to the March would be appreciation of the musical effort to celebrate their efforts..... Hopefully, long - very long - before they got introduced to a version by a Ukulele Orchestra! 😱 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs C and I were on holiday recently, which included a couple of afternoons lazing on the beach. We were quite shocked just how many people there were constantly on their phones, given just how bad a hot, sandy environment with a lot of salt water is for delicate electronics, and how much such people are dependent on said devices... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
