Dam Busters is a superb film. Tidbit..in the movie, based on true facts, the squadcron commander has a dog, a black Lab, whose name is “Nigger”, and the name is uttered several times during the film. Later on, in the 60’s the name was scrubbed from the film prints..
I had a plastic model of the Dam Buster Lancaster hanging over my bed as a kid. I have always wanted to build an RC version but other kits keep getting in the way.
“One of these days” can’t come soon enough.
