Farewell To The Last Dambuster

The last surviving member of the Dambusters – Lawrence “Benny” Goodman – has died aged 100.

He flew with No. 617 Squadron in the famous “bouncing bomb” raids on German dams in 1943.

But in an extraordinary life, he was appointed a Chevalier of the Légion d’Honneur in France.

And he was even considered a “friend” of the German town of Arnsberg for his reconciliation work after the war, despite bombing its railway viaduct in 1945.
