I've heard a rumour that the Dambusters project is on hold as he was basing it on a book written by someone who's had their credibility blown out of the water, but correct me if I'm wrong coz I may well be.

I watched the BoB film again last week for the umpteenth time.
My Dad took me to the pictures to see it on release in 1969. I was 7.
I still think it's a goodish representation of the events of the Battle.
Sure, some of the scenes are out of synch, like when the 109 strafes the airfield, but the 'bullet strikes' only occur after the plane has gone, but like Blackdog says, at least they were real planes in a real sky.
Apart from all the models they blew up that is!
