BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show host Chris Evans is live from RAF Scampton this morning (Friday, May 17).
The show is commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Dambusters raid.
A service of commemoration is set to take place as part of the 70th anniversary of the famous Dambusters Raid.
Among those attending will be veterans of the raid Johnny Johnson and Les Munro, who has flown from New Zealand to attend.
Other relatives of those involved in the raids, including Guy Gibson's nephew and Mary Stopes Roe, the daughter of Barnes Wallis, will also be in attendance.
The service will be led by the Dean of Lincoln Cathedral, supported by the Chaplain in Chief of the Royal Air Force, and will be followed by a flypast by the Lancaster of the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and a pair of Tornado aircraft from 617 Squadron.
Lincoln Cathedral will play host to the event today that expects to attract a congregation of over 1,300.
Radio host Chris Evans will explore Guy Gibson's base and meet the people who can explain the science and history behind the Dambuster raids.
Children from Scampton Church of England Primary School and Pollyplatt Primary School will be singing live on the show.
They will also be reading excerpts from the creative writing they have been doing in class on the Dambuster Raids.
At 9.20am, Lincoln Cathedral's Canon John Patrick will be reading the Pause For Thought from the Aircraft Hangar at RAF Scampton.
After his show, Chris Evans will then fly in a Lancaster Bomber down to Biggin Hill.
During the flight, he will broadcast from onboard the Lancaster into Jeremy Vine's show (12 to 2pm) which is coming live from Biggin Hill.
Lincoln residents will be able to see the Lancaster flying overhead.
