A link to the Internet Archive who have now released the complete 1954 radio series about the Dambusters raid. There are 26 half-hour programs to download, you can do that one at a time or the whole lot in one go. I have just started listening to it, the strange thing is, I can picture the film as it plays. A great item to collect I think, I hope you enjoy it.

Just finished listening to all of the programs, the story takes you all the way through to the end of WW2.
I had to smile at the end of the last show as I was not aware what the last wartime commander of 617 had obtained for the squadron.
