Ah That is such good news. When I next visit the UK I would love to visit it. Thank you very much.

Guy Gibsons dog was killed in a car accident and is buried out side the gate of the air field in a very well marked grave. His name was niger.

Re: Guy Gibson's Dog

There is a small museum at Scampton, which is the only RAF station which allows the public to visit. You get a guided tour of the Station, a good look at the Red Arrow's Hawks, (which fly 4 times a day in the training (winter) season), so you should also see at least part of a display. Just Google 'Scampton Museum' and follow the instructions. ******'s grave is outside No 2 hanger, opposite Gibson's office, and is part of the tour. Its a great day out! (N.B., the asterixs are automatic. I had the temerity to type in the unfortunate dog's name!)
