RAF 617 Squadron's mascot died in 1943 on the day of the raid of German dams during World War 2 after being hit by a car. The mascot to the Wing commander was buried outside Hangar Two, which was home to Guy Gibson's office. RAF is planning to relocate the grave as the site is to be used for housing asylum seekers starting in August. RAF Heritage moved an application to the West Lindsey District Council in May this year to get permission for the removal of the grave and the memorial of the dog in the process to maintain asylum for the seekers. Although, people are expected to point out objections against the removal of the dog's grave. But, as per the RAF Heritage, the grave will be well preserved if kept at RAF Marham in King's Lynn. Now, the meeting is to take place at Lincolnshire Showground's Epic Centre at 6:30 pm BST.
