BBC apologises after presenter calls Dambusters raid ‘infamous’

The BBC has apologised after a presenter called the Second World War Dambusters raid “infamous” on its 80th anniversary in May.

Sally Nugent used the term in a BBC Breakfast segment about RAF 617 Squadron’s 1943 attack on three key dams in Germany as she reported on a flypast by Second World War bombers in May.

It prompted two viewers to complain to the corporation that the description breached accuracy and impartiality guidelines.
