The Dambusters - I believe Sir David Frost owns the film rights, so perhaps there's hope. Still a problem with Nigger, though.
Still a problem with a lack of Lancs as well...........

The Dambusters film may have had some dodgy special effects but it had 4 x flying Lancasters and Scampton looking pretty much as it had at the time of the raid, and plenty of period feel being made as it was in the early fifties.

I'll take that any day over a modern remake using CGI, dodgy modern actors and some PC renaming of Nigger.........

On the subject of The Few, there is a chance that there will be a minimum of CGI as Tom Cruise does own/fly a P-51.
I still think it'll be another rewrite of history though......
