May 17th, 1943 is famous for being the night of the Dambuster raids by 617 Squadron, RAF, but another much smaller raid occured on the same night, carried out in Hampden aircraft by 415 "Swordfish" squadron, RCAF which was to have a far more personal effect on my family.
Just f.y.i. 415 Squadron soldiers on at C.F.B. Greenwood in Nova Scotia. They fly Lockheed CP-140 Aurora aircraft and their mission is A.S.W., search and rescue, and sovereignty patrols.
