It's Digger, sir. He's dead

[Doggy Styles]

And when he gets debriefed he learns that 'Spike', his boyhood buddy was shot down over Holland, He's alive, Spike cant be dead. So he parachutes into Holland, resues Spike from the Gestapo, then liberates a train load of nazi gold and art treasures ,then sails back in a kyak and invents the Turing machine just in time to recieve his VC oak leaf with purple heart and bar.

Was he the same American who went on to conquor Everest in 1953, discover DNA, and design Concord?

Well, one of the pilots was American, and there were lots of Canadians (13 killed during the raid).

An American pilot
He will be the hero then, sitting in the bomb bay, kicking the american invented bomb free, then bailing into the North sea to capture the code books fron U-731 before bringing back a sand sample from the Normandy beaches.
The he will reveal the spy, who infiltrated the mission, posing as a South African rear gunner

Of course.

And this time they'll be flying B52s.

I'm surprised they've stuck with the original name. I can just imagine Resevoirbusters directed by Quentin Tarantino.

They are remaking the Dambusters? Oh dear

So Stephen Fry & co have wimped out after all in the Dambusters remake.

Dam Busters dog renamed for movie remake

They were planning to call the mutt "Niggles", which apparently Guy Gibson often did; but it seems even that is too contentious.
