P/O Václav Jícha of No 313 Squadron RAF poses with his dog Jamilka at RAF Hornchurch in 1942. Jícha was commissioned on 29 April 1941 and became one of the unit's founding members on 27 May. By the time, he had achieved 4 shared victories and 1 damaged. He became the first Czech pilot to destroy an Fw 190 on 28 March 1942.

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.
