Just watched Dam Busters again on Channel 4.... a fantastic film with some fantastic flying. I never realised before that DM shares his name with one of these chaps... what a honour. Think I'll go and take up the Lanc now.

Nice one HC. Saw the BBMF Lanc at Fairford today (that's twice in two weeks!!) and she looked grand

Ah, thanks for that. I always thought it was Joe McCarthy.

He was uncredited in the film. Obviously only a background part in the film...
