Plans to dig up the grave of a black Labrador which served as a mascot for the Dambusters has caused a stir amongst councillors, residents and the wider public. The dog, which belonged to Wing Commander Guy Gibson of the 617 Squadron, is currently buried at RAF Scampton.
It is believed that the dog died on the same day of the famous Dambusters raid on May 16, 1943. The application to dig up its grave and move it to RAF Marham in Norfolk was submitted to West Lindsey District Council on Wednesday, May 10.
