The motion
That this House recognises the important role of the Avro aircraft factory then located in Yeadon in North West Leeds during the Second World War in producing the famous Lancaster bomber planes; further recognises the seventieth anniversary on 16 May 2013 of the momentous Operation Chastise attack on German dams carried out by Royal Air Force No. 617 Squadron and the critical role of Lancaster bombers produced at the Avro factory in this raid; and acknowledges the significant contributions to the war effort made by the thousands of individuals employed at the factory.
