A fairly simple cache hidden in the picturesque suburb of Stanhope Gardens. Should be an easy find for most.
The Dam Busters (1955) is a British Second World War war film starring Michael Redgrave and Richard Todd and directed by Michael Anderson. The film recreates the true story of Operation Chastise when in 1943 the RAF's 617 Squadron attacked the Möhne, Eder and Sorpe dams in Germany with Barnes Wallis's "bouncing bomb".
The film was based on the books The Dam Busters (1951) by Paul Brickhill and Enemy Coast Ahead (1946) by Guy Gibson. The film's reflective last minutes convey the poignant mix of emotions felt by the characters – triumph over striking a successful blow against the enemy's industrial base is greatly tempered by the sobering knowledge that many died in the process of delivering it.
You are looking for a small container that holds a pencil and log, with room for small coins or tags only. Limited parking is available nearby in either Castleford Tce or Brentwood Tce. Stealth may be required as GZ is in plain view of adjacent houses and muggles walking along the nearby footpath. Please ensure you replace the container exactly as found so it is well hidden.
