OK, since an overlap isn’t a problem, let’s say 1 March to 31 May 2023? That way it won’t overlap too much with the emergency services GB but also won’t be too long from now.
FIRST OF MARCH ?!! 
... BLIMEY, that's some time away... Expect several more GBs started/finished/underway before that mate!!
I speak as one who joined in the...
Spitfire, Mosquito, Mustang and Half Track ones,ALMOST simultaneously
... Life's short Jakko... Cram in as much as possible in the time you,(expect to),have

So I've checked and the Dam Busters film apparently featured three later mark Lancasters that were sort of
backdated to the same standard as far as possible to those on the raid. This was achieved by the removal of certain features and other adaptations. They also rather obviously had their squadron and plane IDs changed to reflect some of those on the raid, two of these are kit decal options. Not surprisingly, one such option is Guy Gibson's 'G for George'. The other is Micky Martin's 'P for Popsie', so I should be ok on that front.
That said, at my build rate I'd need 6 months!

I will sort out a forum section for this in the near future! I think there is plenty of time lol.
Is that date final or are we still talking about it?

Well, I think 1 March is a good date: three months from today, should give plenty of time to think about which subject to pick, buy a model, prepare mentally, etc.
And get some much needed practice in on something else!
