Fearlessly led by Wing Commander Guy Gibson, the battle-ready Lancaster Bombers of 617 Squadron thundered through the night skies high above enemy territory, courageously embarking on the most daring raid of WWII – Operation Chastise. Soaring into the annals of military history as the iconic Dambusters, the valiant heroes of Britain’s Bomber Command symbolised the hopes of the Allied nations, each determined to defeat the formidable threat of oppression. Now you can proudly commemorate the courageous Dambusters – true heroes of the skies – with a first-of-a-kind collectable treasure. The Dambusters Masterpiece Clock is a market-first, exclusive to The Bradford Exchange.
This expertly handcrafted sculpture honours the fearless Lancaster pilot Wing Commander Guy Gibson’s iconic aircraft, flown during his command of the famed ‘Dambusters’ 617 Squadron, throughout Operation Chastise. Authentically mastercrafted with a bronze-tone finish – reminiscent of stunning museum-quality treasures – this edition is mounted on a richly grained and polished wooden base with a precision Quartz movement clock and indoor thermometer – both inspired by authentic instruments from the Lancaster Dambusters Bomber cockpit. The clock face inscribed with the stirring 617 Squadron motto of ‘Après Moi, Le Déluge’ (After Me, The Flood) – a striking reminder of the bomber’s contribution to the acclaimed ‘Dambusters’ raids.
