Nice pic!

The Dambusters was a good flick. A modern re-do would be awesome.

The model landscape they used for the model plane to fly over had to be 100 yards long! I kept waiting for it to repeat but it didn't.

The story of how they came up with the bomb idea and altitude monitoring was interesting.

I recommend the movie if you haven't seen it.

There was a rumor going around that it was being remade, by Peter Jackson no less... Still haven't seen or heard anything about it though.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
