Not just the dog’s name; it’s the code word for a direct hit on a dam.

This old chestnut yet again. I'll put my old fart hat on and say that it was fashionable in the 20's through to the early 60's to call any totally black dog or cat even by the ever so dreadful "N" word. No one was offended then it's only the sandal wearing tree hugging oiks that have made it oh so dreadful.

A much delayed remake directed by Peter Jackson is currently in the production pipeline. According to certain sources the dog will indeed be renamed "Digger".
As far as i"m aware both Barnes Wallace and Guy Gibson's names remain true to the original although I would have thought the names Buck and Gavin would have more of a modern ring and appeal more to the American market.

Just watched Equaliser 2 and the N word was used plenty of times between coloured chaps and that in a 2018 film......

Not really, I mean relative to the Nazis we were fighting against. They didn't abuse the dog, '******' is just representative of the culture the Bomber Boys lived in.

Different spelling and ends with an "a" rather than an "er"! Appears to be acceptable in those circumstances though.

And then I switched over and watched 633 Squadron. A veritable afternoon of RAF victories.
