[grodspc]

[eyewitness043]

Now you know why these fools want to abolish the word!

[t239]

I think we missed the code words that followed that one:

....STEALING-MY-TELEVISION

[sz1a]

Hahahahaha that codeword is hilarious! It's just unbelievable the way he spells it out...

[nickcoletta]

Unless you are a black man saying it of course. They seem to call each other "nigger" all the time without any offence being taken.

There is a little replica of the mohne dam about 12 foot long in a wood at the BRE (Building research Establishment) in London. this was used to test the amount of explosive needed to breach the dam.

Would this be at Stanwell near Heathrow? thats something I have heard before. Nearby where once the government buildings were is now an immigration detention centre.

[bluntknife99]

Back in those days nigger wasn't used as a derogatory fashion so it wasn't thought of as a racist word. If his dog had been white it would have been called snowy. Snow is white!

[kneel]

So Guy Gibson was a racist bloke and he had a black dog.

[notwocdivad]

Kneel, I remember watching that "War in the Air program presented by Brian Englis or Ingliss I forget how it is spelt. It must have been repeats cos I was only 3 in 1953 and i`m sure i wasn`t that young when I watched it. My Mum was in the WRNS during the war stationed at Ramsgate and if she was taken by surprise when this show was on she still jumped if an air raid siren sounded or a V1 came over even after all those years.

[kneel]

yes God works in mysterious ways

[dacezza]

Gibson's dog was killed after being hit by a car the day before the Dambusters raid. And he was the squadron mascot, it was kept secret that he had died until the mission was over, for superstitious reasons.

[turboric]

its amusing, just the way he says it lol

N I G G E R (silence) NIGGER

[kneel]

Yes there are several documentaries about just that Operation alone

[GallardoNY]

The operation was to take out German dams, it was called Operation Chastise.

[speedtroller]

Are you sure it wasn't Mel Gibson's Dog? LOL

[ocserfal]

The codeword used in the Dambuster operation, "Nigger", was taken from the name of Guy Gibson's dog. Extremely offensive nowadays.
