Guy Gibson's dog.

Just heard some very stirring music on the wireless by Eric Coates, which was used as the theme to a brilliant film about the brave mission of 617 Squadron in the war. I have watched the film many times and enjoy it on each occasion, but my mind must be going as I get older.

Can't for the life of me remember the name of Guy Gibson's black canine. My telly must be on the blink too as the last time I saw the said film the sound went all muffled when news of the poor pooch was broken to dear old Guy.

Can anybody remind me????

I think it was 'Nigger'. It's a wonder they don't cut it out these days!

Allegedly it was cut when the film was released in the States.
