Paul64 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Hi, Went for a trip by LR with Jasper to see the Dam at the Mohnesee. This is where the site of the real event as recorded in the film the Dam Busters took place. Great day with lots of surrounding forest trails.

western Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I've been over that dam, you can still see where the breach was rebuilt, might be more blended in now as I went about 15 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul64 Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 I didn't actually walk over the dam so I can't say what the repair looks like. Spent most of my time in the woods with Jasper. In the afternoon I went to the British Sailing Club to watch some of my colleagues get very wet and cold! Cheers, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 you should be able to see the repair from the viewing area above the river/pumping station side, slightly lighter colour stone IIRC, was a big hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ralph, I will be back there in a couple of weeks time. I will find out where the breach was and get you a photo of the repair. You probably hit the nail on the head when you mentined the time span of 15 years. With that amount of time it is probably well weathered.

western Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 IIRC it's almost central between the towers & about 113rd to 1/2 depth of the dam wall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul64 Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 I will check it out Ralph. I sent in Jasper to do a closer inspection of the dam but I couldn't understand his incoherent report! Cheers, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 looks like he's enjoying his paddle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
