82nd Anniversary of the #Amiens prison raid RAMROD564 (Jericho )took place this morning outside the prison in Amiens, and at the gravesides of Group Captain P.C Pickard DSO and two bars, DFC and his Navigator Flt Lt Alan Broadley DSO, DFC, DFM. @UKDefenceFrance @CWGC




























80 years ago, 13 Allied Mosquito bombers bombed part of Amiens prison to liberate 258 prisoners including many from the Resistance needed for #DDay preparations. They flew in broad daylight, making daring passes at 50ft to ensure the walls were breached. (1/2)







Sadly I wont be able to attend, but if you are able to get to Amiens for this commemoration on 18 Feb 24, do so.
