21:47Now PlayingEver wondered what it was like to fly a Lancaster bomber on a World War Two mission in the dead of night?
In this immersive film, Al Murray and James Holland experience the famous Dambusters raid over the Möhne Dam inside the world’s first WWII Avro Lancaster flight simulator — using genuine wartime controls under an original 1944 canopy, housed in a barn in Dorset.
The simulator is a meticulously built replica cockpit, packed with original WWII gauges, instruments, and kit — all constructed to exact wartime specifications. With Andy Sturgess, the expert behind this astonishing build, guiding him through, Al takes the controls and flies the full night mission, gaining real insight into what the pilots of 617 Squadron endured in 1943.
