When the CRC Project Team arrived at Scampton, they were shown the 'Museum'. In there was a slightly battered version of the board shown here. I guess this would have been erected at the end of or shortly after the War (though I honestly don't know).

About a year later I was also shown the Museum and suggested the board should be put back where it had come from. However, I was informed that a copy had already been made for that very purpose, it being desired to keep the original in the Museum.

As far as I know, the wording is exactly the same as the original, and I have no idea why the 2 CGMs weren't included. Given the building was originally the Airmens' Mess, it makes even less sense for these awards to be omitted. I will try to remember to ask when I get back on Monday. Pse PM me if I forget.
