Do the models of the dams still exist? Were the originals used in the film???

I have seen and believe have photos of at least two of the models which are stored at Duxford, I will try to find them and post them.
They also have the model used for the briefing of the Amiens Raid amongst others.

I certainly recall one of the models on display at Lambeth Road at the time of the “50th” in 1993.

The actual models (at least one of them) was on display at Lambeth Road.

Because at the bottom of the page is ‘Category – Photographs’ not ‘Category – Models’.
They are photographs of the models.

That’s them, why the hell haven’t they put them on display under the Lanc at Duxford?

I believe the IWM has them?

No wonder the mission was hard, those grand Daffs must have been woes than the flak.

Fascinating – I had no idea that the model still existed.
