A timepiece that pays tribute to Roy Chadwick, the visionary aircraft designer for the Avro company, whose crucial contributions played a pivotal role in the success of the Dambusters Raid during World War II. Chadwick's visionary ideas, including the removal of the mid-upper gun turret to reduce drag, were critical to the success of Operation Chastise.
