My brother-in-law, Maxie Coles flew in Lancasters over Germany with the RAF and RCAF…..also delivered Mosquitos to fight Rommel in the desert…….he just celebrated his 90th year…..

I have several pictures of the grave and of the monument near the crashplace.

]]> Comment on Dambusters remake: quiet progress by Neil Whiteman http://dambustersblog.com/2011/11/08/dambusters-remake-quiet-progress/#comment-1194 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 18:08:07 +0000 http://dambustersblog.com/?p=901#comment-1194 The original Dambuster’s movie was historically inaccurate in many parts of the story, and bore little resemblance to Paul Brickhill’s book.
I sincerely hope the producer’s of this upcoming remake really go to town on it and get just about everything right!, ranging from costumes, car’s buildings etc. Oh and please, no four letter words beginning with F……!. the word just wasn’t used in those days!, but at the same time i hope they don’t Patronise the period the story is set in either!!!!. Geoffrey Rush should play Barnes Wallace, and i hope Guy Gibson is portrayed as a rude arrogant arsehole as he was supposed to have been in real life!!!.
