Until the excavation of ED825, many historians believed that the Type 464s had remained in their
‘Dambuster’ fit whilst flying conventional operations with 617 Squadron. However, the discovery of the
taboo track guide seen here (below left) proved that ED825 had a mid-upper turret when it crashed.
This confirmed that those flying conventional ops had been returned to standard, including the removal
of the calliper arms and re-installation of bomb bay doors. ED825 therefore probably looked like this
when it was shot down.
