Rejected petition Reinstate the Headstone for Guy Gibson’s dog at RAF Scampton.

The RAF have removed the headstone in remembrance of Wing Commander Guy Gibson VC’s Black Labrador in case the name causes offence. We cannot and should not be rewriting history. The headstone has been there since the night of the Dams Raid in 1943 when the dog was run over by a car.

More details

Reinstate the headstone with immediate effect.
