The last surviving British member of the Dambusters raid has said memories came flooding back to him as he flew over the Derwent Valley in a Lancaster bomber earlier.

Squadron Leader George "Johnny" Johnson, 96, was meant to fly over on Wednesday to mark the mission's 75th anniversary but bad weather meant the flight was cancelled.

But the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight reorganised the flypast at short notice for today.

Mr Johnson said: "Over the Derwent Dam, the time was gone, just like that, I was back there …thinking about the times that we went there.

"I have to say the first time I noticed the hilly area we were going to, I wondered what the hell we were doing down at 60ft, but there it was, that was the job and it all came back just like that, it was wonderful."

A plan to introduce a residents-only parking scheme on a Chesterfield street has been approved at a county council meeting to decide the fate of several road and transport issues.

Councillors debated a petition calling for the measures to prevent the "indiscriminate and illegal parking by commuters and college students" on Shirland Street near the college.

Out of those living on the street, 44 signed the petition with 40 approving of the restrictions.

The plan was quickly approved, subject to assessments from council officers that at least two-thirds of the residents approve of the scheme and are willing to pay for the residents-only permit.

Increased numbers of trains between Birmingham and the East Midlands could help grow the region's economy by £5bn each year, according to a report.

The comments were made by during a presentation by Maria Machancoses, the director of Midlands Connect, the transport arm of the government's 'Midlands Engine'.

She said securing the extra trains between Birmingham, Derby, Leicester and Nottingham would also help meet the demand of the growing labour market.

The full details were set out at a meeting of the West Midlands Combined Authority's Transport Committee, according to the local democracy reporting service.

"These improvements will mean more seats on faster trains, less congestion on the motorways and better access to HS2 trains from cities and towns across the Midlands without a dedicated HS2 station," Ms Machancoses said.
