RAF Scampton's heritage at risk due to the proposed relocation of Guy Gibson's dog's grave, warns Lincolnshire County Council

The dog served as the mascot for the Dambusters and was buried outside Hangar 2 at the request of his owner. In its application, the force stated concerns about preserving the dog's place of rest following uncertainty surrounding the housing of asylum seekers at RAF Scampton. "It also proposes the removal of the dog's memorial plaque together with other commemorative items and the associated iron railings that surround it and their removal from the site.
