Wiki has some info.

JUST a thought, but if this a hangar especially built for a rebuild of a Lancaster, would it not make sense for it to be used for a rebuild of a second Lancaster immediately afterwards……………

To add to creaking door’s link, as he says it’s not that straight forward,

Pranger – Attack Mohne
Nigger – Mohne breached, divert to Eder
Dinghy – (yes, as in a small boat!) – Eder breached, divert to Sorpe
Danger – Attack Lister
Edward – Attack Ennepe
Fraser – Attack Diemel
Gilbert – Attack last resort targets
Goner- Weapon released
Mason – All crews return to base

And then the Alpha Numerical Codes for the targets and the “Goner 1-10” as per his link. Or indeed “Goner 68” meaning Weapon released, exploded 5yds from dam and no apparent breach.

CWHM haven’t officially announced anything yet…..

Joe McCarthy and his crew would be a good one, and he was an American!

“What do you mean we started it. It was you who invaded Poland!” Basil Fawlty circa 1977.

Despite the sarcasm and cynicism about the title, a very good programme. good to see the Late Tony Iveson. Lets not knock the TV companies when they do produce something like this…and the reason for the title was indeed explained!
