I watched a film on TV yesterday, The Dam Busters,
****** was a male black labrador retriever belonging to Wing Commander Guy Gibson of the Royal Air Force, and the mascot of No. 617 Squadron. Gibson owned the dog when he was previously a member of 106 Squadron
The dog's name has been edited out of the famous 1955 film adaptation the squadron's heroic work, The Dam Busters, since the 1990s - or replaced with the name Trigger. Wing Commander Gibson's dog often accompanied him on training flights and was loved by the 617 Squadron and his former 106 Squadron.
