An important gold-layered WWII Dambusters commemorative has been issued to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Operation Chastise. Richly layered in 24-carat gold – struck to our highest PROOF finish. Exclusive to The Bradford Exchange – In May of 1943, an intrepid group of 133 young men, led by 24-year old Squadron Leader Guy Gibson, received their briefing, manned their formidable Lancaster aircraft and took to the skies. Within the bellies of the aircraft were the revolutionary bouncing bombs of Barnes Wallis, destined for their war-time debut. The three formations of the 617 squadron released their payload and watched as the spinning bombs skipped along the water's surface before submerging to release their devastating blows.
2023 is the 80th anniversary of the daring Operation Chastise raid, and The Bradford Exchange is proud to commemorate the iconic aircrews – revered as The Dambusters – in addition to their legendary Avro Lancaster aircraft with the Dambusters Heroes – 80th Anniversary 65mm Gold-Plated Commemorative.
This commemorative measures 65mm in diameter and is lavishly layered in lustrous 24-carat gold. The reverse of the unique presentation features artwork by skilled aviation artist Philip E. West – Member of the prestigious Guild of Aviation Artists. A broad banner depicts the tribute 'DAMBUSTERS'. Bas-relief Union Flags with '80' designs represent the anniversary, whilst 'OPERATION CHASTISE' and the title of the commemorative is showcased above the imagery.
That's not all – this prestigious edition is individually numbered, has been struck to a proof quality – the highest level of production – and is only available from The Bradford Exchange.
