Dam busters memorial vandalised - Page 2 - Aircraft of World War II

No harm? Maybe on a physical realm its not much, but there is a major issue of respect here.

I'd love to go these little bas**ds homes and show them the same type of respect. Hit'em where they live. Then let Les att'em.

Horncastle is quite close to me (I sort mail for Horncastle... sad.) , I'll find them and destroy them ! Or destroy all of Horncastle ... which would be better. I thought the memorial would be at Alford though because that's where 617 Sqdn. were based...Alford also being close to me. And Scunthorpe, Gainsborough, Retford, Grimsby, Market Rasen (RAF Binbrook), Lincoln, Coningsby ... all the Bomber Command bases were around here. And it's ONE big **** hole.

The memorial is actually in Woodhall Spa a few miles from Horncastle.....
Dont go and trash the wrong place....!!
617 was formed at Scampton...they moved to Coningsby and Woodhall spa...
I dont know about Alford..

Its just plain sad that we have a class of people who have zero concept of sacrifice for future generations.

When we put up our Memorial at Steeple Morden we were very careful to try to do three things - 1.) make sure the 355th/Steeple Morden monument reflected the sacrifices of both RAF and USAAF airmen that served there, 2.) design a memorial that was striking in presntation but relatively easy to maintain, repair or even replace (The 51 prop would be hard but easy to duplicate from appearance, 3.) engage our British friends in the support and amintenance efforts.

We raised one hell of a lot of money to ensure it is maintained as long as a free government remains in UK, with excess funds used to donate to good causes like Church repairs, etc.

As I understand it most of the British memorials are under UK maintenance and support? so maybe the replacement/restoration won't be the issue..

I find myself wishing for significant harm short of extinction be devoted as 'instructional' corporal punishment to serve as a warning to futere acts by similar perverts.

Regards,

That stained glass is incredible!

I would add keel-hauling to that Lucky. They just don't understand.

I sincerely hope I never catch one of these morally derilect little cowards in the act because I would never see the light of day again.

Load them onto the Lancaster from the Battle of Britain flight and drop them into the Mohen Dam in Germany.
I hate scum like that.

CRASHGATE, I forgot about Woodhall Spa, working at the Doncaster mail centre I unfortunately know all about this area... and all their post-codes...so sad.

I'd trash all the places ! Although I've never been to Woodhall Spa.

Lucky13 · 11-08-2007, 08:43 AM

Karma is a good thing..... As Buddha put it: Even death is not to be feared, by one who has lived wisely..... I'd say to these c*cksuckers...be afraid, be VERY afraid!

Its quite nice around that area (if a bit flat)....give it a chance...not everybody is an a***hole (a lot of the residents are upset about what has happened)
And the whole area is steeped in WW2 bomber history..which isnt a bad thing

Maybe crucifiction on a upside down cross.....

Strap each of them to one of the propellers of a Lancaster and start her up (modern day version of strapping them to the wheels of one of the wagons and spinning it)
