Just a couple of observations.
I don't believe the gravestone should have been changed but I am all too aware of the politically correct times in which we exist and therefore I was disappointed rather than surprised.
On my many visits to Scampton for exercises and courses, I was always under the impression that the dog was not actually in the grave. Perhaps he was 'thrown over the hedge' or maybe it was those naughty Vulcan co-pilots !
I am getting tired of being expected to apologise for historical events upon which my generation nor my parents or grandparents generation had no control.
The silent majority will not remain silent for much longer if these trends continue.
I wonder who actually made this decision - Air Force Board, AOC, Staish or OC Admin ?
To those who continually say 'it was just a dog', I would simply say this; I would rather spend eternity with my dogs than the majority of human beings I have encountered in forty five years of flying !
