CALGARY --
A long-time Calgary police officer and former member of the Royal Air Force has put his body to the test in an effort to raise funds for military families and veterans in need.
Ian McCaughtrie set off Saturday morning and completed a 90-kilometre bike ride back and forth from the Bomber Museum in Nanton to Chain Lakes Provincial Park.
The ride is meant to honour the 78th anniversary of what’s known as the Dambuster Raid or Operation Chastise when Royal Air Force No. 617 Squadron used a purpose-built “bouncing bomb” to carry out an attack on German Dams.
