Correct!
The Derwent Valley in the Peak District National park was the ideal place for the practise runs because the Derwent dam closely resembled the Moehne dam in Germany.
All the flying and bombing scenes in the film 'The Dambusters' was filmed in the Derwent Valley in 1954. The film was shot during the day and over-exposed to create the effect of darkness.
