There were plans for a Hollywood remake of dam busters when I was working at coningsby Which is where the battle of Britain memorial flight lives. ( Also where I first met the wife)
But in the end they refused to assist, due to too many things being inaccurate about the story, One of which was the dogs name, which would of been blacky

I have read a report which said the dog is called "Niggs" or "Niggsy". The new movie should be out soon, it will be interesting to see. |

Just watched this, and have to say it was a big letdown.
No pun intended when I say, it's not a patch on the original. 
I really preferred the pure hokum of the original to the realism of this remake, or to use a quote from another legendary western, "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend". |

I have read a report which said the dog is called "Niggs" or "Niggsy". The new movie should be out soon, it will be interesting to see. I was in the Dambusters museum, which is inside one of the towers on the Dam in Derbyshire, only a couple of months ago. The dogs collar is in a cabinet there, along with a whole host of Guy Gibson, s personal effects. I wasn,t certain, but the dogs id tag, which is in the shape of a VC either has had the name roughly removed, or it was displayed, showing the back only. I was disgusted, and told the curator so....he wholeheartedly agreed with me. History is history, and denying people were called such names only makes it worse. I cant wait to see the new true grit...i loved the original. "Fill your hand....you son of a bitch " 
What a guy. |
