Plans to relocate the grave of a dog which was a mascot to the Dambusters have been refused by councillors.
The 617 Squadron’s mascot, a black Labrador, belonged to commanding officer Guy Gibson and died on the day of the raid on German dams in 1943.
The RAF applied for planning permission to move the grave from RAF Scampton as the site is to be used to house asylum seekers from August.
