I always understood that the Groundcrew dealt with Nigger, and buried him behind the Hangar. I think I once had the honour of visiting his resting place, though never posted to Scampton. I've just watched the programme again and wonder at the sacrifice these blokes, and the rest of Bomber Command, put up with. I doubt I would last long in facing the constant push for more ops that they did. I'm grateful that John Nichol informed us of the programme, I'm sure it made many of us aware of the activities of this very famous squadron.
