Scampton community angered by RAF's bid to relocate Wing Commander Guy Gibson's dog's grave
Plans to move the grave of Wing Commander Guy Gibson's dog from RAF Scampton to RAF Marham have been called a "kick in the teeth" for the community.
West Lindsey District Council Vice Chairman and Scampton councillor Roger Patterson called the move a "kick in the teeth for the community"."If they were going to move it to be with Guy Gibson himself then possibly there wouldn't be a problem, but there's no guarantee that 617 Squadron are going to stay at RAF Marham.
"The exodus of historical artifacts from the site will have a significant long-term impact on the local economy and community," they said.
