On 16th May 1943 at 1800 hours (6pm), all crew members assembled for the final briefing. It was presented by Gibson, Wallis and Cochrane.
Gibson outlined the general plan of attack before the crews were briefed in detail about routes, call signs, codewords, weather conditions and ammunition loads. (For many of the crews this was the first time Gibson had spoken to them).
Wallis then explained the basic principles and development of the weapon and what he expected it to do. He outlined the characteristics of the dams and explained the effect on Hitler’s industry if they were breached.
Finally Cochrane closed the briefing wishing the crews good luck.

The T6 was owned by Gordon King one time Sally B ground grew member, we had the Harvard at our museum for a number of years before it departed to be rebuilt to as you see it today.
I met Gordon king back in 1987 for the first time when he was viewing the harvard which was part of a batch that I think were from the Dutch airforce that had come into Anthony Huttons ownership.
from what I remember Gordon swapped his B25 nose with Hutton which went onto Aces High which was going to be fitted to the B.25 camera ship which came to the uk to film Memphis Belle and onto Peice of Cake.
