Yeah that would be IQM with the barrel bomb setup underneath. It's OK the digital duplication they do lately of historic flights, but there is nothing like a real four engined piston pounder! Of course the Lancs and Halifaxes and lots of the real bombers had Merlins, but I'll take an air cooled radial any day! Just for trivia: the North Star was a DC-4 with Rolls Royce V-12s built by Canadair here in Canada!
If the Dam buster re-creation plane had 57 on the tail it would be Buffalo C-FIQM. Do you know if it had a retardant tank underneath, they could have dropped some water "bombs".
@Mr777Jordan It did not have retardant tank underneath it, they put the bomb rack on the bottom, type in nova dam buster on you tube and you can see short clip of #57
This airplane C-GPSH is actually not Buffalo tanker 57 C-FIQM, you can see on the gear doors that there is 57 on there , but the registration has been painted over so they put the nose gear doors off of T57 on PSH. In the airtanker world they are adding a 4 to the old numbers to designate a heavy tanker so the Electras and DC-4s and DC-6s will be Tanker 457 or tanker 489 for example.
I worked on PSH some in the early 2000s and keep some contact with some of the Buffalo herd, I believe she was repaired and flyable after being damaged in 2006.
@Mr777Jordan Watched nova last night they had scientist from Cambridge try to recreate the dam buster mission and they used Buffalo DC4 in place of Lancaster and I believe it was this aircraft had 57 on tail

DC-4s are the best airtanker out there. I worked on them with Buffalo for 4 years. Reliable, maneuverable .... you gotta love the radials!
