I wonder about that Guy Gibson dog's name and whether there will be a remake of Dam Busters. There have been several unacceptable names in the past that have become acceptable now. For example I have seen personal number plates with Sambo on them. That would have been unthinkable when I was younger as it was a derogatory and racist term. Not these days apparently.
