From deep in English bomber country comes confirmation of my prediction that the re-makers of The Dambusters movie have duly got round the issue of Guy Gibson's dog's name. Which is Nigger.

Courtesy of the Standard series of newspapers in Lincolnshire - then home of the RAF's 617 Squadron - we learn that the name has been dropped. It's been replaced, obviously, with Nidge.

So it turns out that Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson is re-making the British movie The Dambusters. One of the veterans - George "Johnny" Johnson - helped with the project and reports in this interview that what he's seen of the movie is great stuff. The thorny question is, as afficianados will realise, what are they going to call the dog?
