Most were transferred to other squadrons as 617 Squadron received their dedicated modified Lancasters. In addition, before receiving their purpose built Dambusting Lancasters 617 Squadron ‘borrowed’ 10 standard Lancasters from other 5 Bomber Group squadrons (as below) so they could immediately start their low-level training. The following list gives the 133 names of the aircrew that took part in Operation Chastise and the squadrons they were recruited from. It seems that crews volunteered or were recommended, either as full crews or as individual crew members. When 617 Squadron (initially known as Squadron X) was formed in March 1943, Lancaster squadrons Bomber Command were requested to donate suitable aircrew for a special operation.
