I thought it best to start a separate thread for this one!
On Wednesday details went onto the Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire (AHL) website detailing how the public can apply for tickets at the Lincoln Cathedral commemoration service on Friday 17th May 2013.

Details about another AHL 617 Sqn commemorative event have just come through to me, which I thought might interest a few people about these parts:
“As part of the commemorations during that week, AHL is also organising a black tie/cocktail dress gala showing of the original film the “Dam Busters” at the Kinema in the Woods at Woodhall Spa, Lincs.
This event is taking place on Wednesday, 15th May 2013 and it will be a ticket-only event. Following a flypast by the BBMF Lancaster escorted by two 617 Sqn Tornado GR4s the film will begin showing at 7pm.
After the film there will be a champagne reception and buffet at the Petwood Hotel, Woodhall Spa, which was the home of the wartime 617 Sqn Officers’ Mess. Here guests will be entertained by a local Royal Air Force Band. Also included as part of this event is a prize draw organised by the Leonard Cheshire Trust; tickets will cost £25 per head with proceeds going to the Lincolnshire Bomber Command Memorial Appeal.
For more information on the Kinema in the Woods event please email: dave.harrigan(AT)lincolnshire.gov.uk”

I have occasional contact with this organisation http://www.barneswallistrust.org/bwmt.htm
They have facilitated the practice Upkeep Mine being placed on loan as part of this display at Newark! 🙂

I hear from this site:
that there will be a Barnes Wallis Coomemoration day at Herne Bay (near Reculver) on Sunday May 19th. Not clear yet whether PA474 will attend.
