It’s been 70 years since the Dambusters raid. They were interviewing the only remaining member of the raid, At the Petwood Hotel in Woodhall Spa which used to be the headquarters of 617 squad, I have stopped there a few times.
Where have you stopped that has historical links?

Alt:Lunch?

Not sure but very possible
as the plans were kept secret long after the war, which is why the bomb in the film was almost spherical, the real one was more of a cylinder, etc.
