Update. Robert Ross points out a coincidence:
@HughJampton I've *always* thought that. Both are 1913~1976 too. Spooky! ;-)

Hell in a Lancaster! Or why an updated version of The Dambusters could never be made in these puritanical times. And this is without even mentioning the name of Guy Gibson's dog.
You know Eric Coates's theme music so hum along.
Modern day sin I: Dog left in car.
Modern day sin II: Ill prepared bathing. Wading without a buoyancy aid or distress flares.

A while ago Sara Kennedy, Radio 2's early morning jock and Peter Briffa fave, was on holiday and her stand-in asked his listeners to e-mail or text in their suggestions for the best ever movie car chase. All the obvious contenders were present and correct; Bullit, Ronin, Italian Job and so on. However I don't recall anybody suggesting the real undisputed champion, the climactic car chase at the end of the classic meisterwerk that is Confessions of a Driving Instructor. I'm serious.
