Scampton will tug many heart strings despite the state it has been allowed to fall into. Surely something could be done with the Officers Mess to incorporate the museum and associated with the new Bomber Command memorial. I did a course there about thirty years ago and was surprised how little history was evident. As for the grave of Nigger, well there have been so many stories about it over the years, I doubt if anyone knows the truth.

I make no apologies for not being PC above !
