Last year the same organisers arranged for a charity ride from RAF Scampton to the Mohne Dam, part of the 70th anniversary tribute to the famous dams raid in 1943 when 617 squadron RAF breached two of Gemany’s great dams. The UK riders met up with German bikers and dignitaries for a wreath-laying ceremony at the dam. Just under £14,000 was raised for chaity.
