Something to do with the dam busters wasn’t it?


Yes, it was a black Labrador owned by Guy Gibson. I understand they over dubbed the name with ‘blackie’ in the Dam Busters movie a few years ago, which was a controversial move.

Buried at Scampton, they are trying to work out what to do with the grave when it becomes an asylum home.

Quoted from Chalky
Back in the early '70s my grandad had a black lab called N*gger and for some reason not only was it acceptable but I can remember knowing another dog called that as well,I just just like to add that my grandad wasn't a racist or owt like that... Erm I think


My grandad had a great pyrenees called chalky ,never crossed my mind it could be colour related though and that it's the same name as you until now though chalky !

My red/brown shelter dog is great with a ball - she's called Gilly after Dave Gilbert.

The grave of that jet black WW2 dog is at RAF Scampton, awaiting a decision on re-location after the closure.

My brother and I had a pair of rabbits once. White with black patches. We called them Joey and Deano. You can probably guess why.
