O i/c Nigger's Grave was a 617 Sqn secondary duty. The grave was well tended - woe betide the Sqn if a single weed was found by the original dams raid members who were the original 617 Sqn Association members. They had a reunion every 2 years hosted by the Sqn at Scampton. They are a fantastic bunch of guys - they were adept at letting their hair down and putting us at our ease!

As for the reported removal of the painting, the i/c the mess [whichever one it is] and the Staish should tell complainer to grow up, write an essay on the dams raid and get the painting back on the wall pronto.

You cannot re-write history.

It won't be too long before there is a PC backlash [I believe it is starting already] in this country. People in my local pub are sick to death of it, as are many of the minorities who are being tarred with the same 'complaining brigade' brush.
