How long before that is going to be sprayed with 'WARMONGER' et al.

Just need a statue of the real father of the RAF - David Henderson. Maybe opposite Trenchard? https://www.thegazette.co.uk/all-notices/content/101313

What if someone is offended?

Nobody is putting sheets over the statue, nobody is offended, nobody is going to paint it with WARMONGER. Its a statue commemorating the 100 year anniversary. |
Ah but, seemingly someone was offended by the grave of Wg Cdr Gibson’s dog, and that was inside the wire......

Excellent statue, she has really "got" Trenchard. I looked up the sculptor Vivien Mallock and she has produced some very good statues of military subjects. I suspect that the fact that her works actually look like their real life subjects means that she will never become a nationally known name!
Could be the last? I think,unfortunately, it wont be the last time somebody mentions that bloody dog! |
Shame that they considered sponsoring flying scholarships instead but then decided to spend it on a lump of stone and metal. It is an excellent statue but surely the founder of the RAF College and RAF Apprentices would have preferred to be responsible for training youngsters.

Good to see the statue and good to see Chris Coville looking so well too - one of those thoroughly top chaps who was always a pleasure to be with, whatever the rank divide.

My room (no 37), when I was at the College, is the window just behind CCC's head. Hard to believe it was soooo long ago!
