There is a story, probably a lie;
To celebrate the dambusters raid, the BBMF asked permission to over fly the Mohne dam at low level. after some checking, permission was denied by German air traffic control. When challenged, it turned out that since the the mid sixties after they had been all been retired from service, the Lancaster had been declared Verboten in German airspace. BBMF replied, it was technically verboten the first time, and that didn’t stop it.
