Just wondering. Has Jackson's version of The Dambusters been released yet?

The original has been showing on TV over the Xmas holidays. As an ATC Cadet, I attended every showing at The Odeon, Stockton on Tees for ten days in 1962, collecting for RAFA Wings Appeal. Much to the Missus's annoyance, I could still remember most of the dialogue.

Chatting with Jo Kmiecek when he was on 207, he mentioned that he was the pilot of one of the Lancasters used in the film. They shot the night scenes in broad daylight, with the camera stops set to give the appearance of night-time and he found the experience terrifying. He said that the 617 crews must have been supermen to fly like that at night.
