This tune ranks along side Jerusalem and Land of hope and Glory as one of the most iconic English patriotic tunes. This year is the 70th anniversary of the famous Dam Busters Raid in WW2 and so I thought I'd try the impossible and do an arrangement for banjo in celebration.

This tells the story of the raid for those too young to have been told or who haven't seen the film.
You may need hands like navvies' shovels to play the stretches in some of the chords otherwise it's not too much of a challenge........Steve.
