Born Hunter 17,638 Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 FYI: 617 Sqn "The Dambusters" officially reformed yesterday in preparation for being the first operational British squadron to operate the F-35 Lightening II. The squadron and their Tonkas disbanded in 2014. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
