Here's a link for some more pictures of the reenactment. We still can't view the video here in the U.S.

So, does this make the DC-4 a full fledged war bird?

I hope this turns up in a future 'Ice Pilots' episode. :supz:

Well, this particular aircraft (C-FIQM) started life as C-54G 45-635 so I guess it already was a warbird.

And yes, I'm hoping to see this on Ice Pilots too.

According to the Mikey McBryan from Buffalo Airways interviewed on a recent ep of the Airplane geeks podcast, an upcoming episode includes 'behind the scenes' coverage of the Dambusters doco.

Just watched this on History Television.
I thought it was pretty good other than the narrator not knowing a thing about aviation. (altimeter in NOT pronounced 'aulti-meeter')

They must have re-dubbed the narrator then because he definitely didn't have a British accent in the version I watched.

Here's a link to watch the whole thing on History Television's website:

Not sure if it'll work in the US though.

Vit a mins, al yew min eum, med sins, miss aisles, a bonnet covers the cars engine but the hood covers you in the car, inspect the covers for flints (look @ the tire treads for sharp rocks) It's sort of like when I moved to Lousiana from the West Coast the first guy I met told me 'Y'all tawk fuunie' so I replied 'yes, but I didn't have to rent a 'Y'all Hawl' to move here. :lol:

The episode is posted on the History Channel's video page although I have a feeling you may not be able to view it outside of Canada.

I watched it last night on the History Channel. Entertaining. Love Ice Pilots NWT, love warbirds, nuff said

Have to say I was somwhat stunned seeing that test run gone bad in the old film clips. You can see it In This YouTube Video
Did the narrator say it was post war testing? What type of aircraft is that?
