Exterior. Day. 11 May 2018 15:52hrs. Simon Atack’s “HOPGOODS COURAGEOUS RUN” for Dambusters Inn Pub Sign

Simon Atack, Aviation Artist with his painting, Hopgood’s Courageous Run

Friday 11^th May 2018

Simon Atack, one of the world’s foremost military aviation and naval artists, has graciously and generously permitted a special reproduction of his painting, Hopgood’s Courageous Run to form the design of our new Pub Sign.

We thought it appropriate to make this new sign in recognition of and to mark the eightieth anniversary of OPERATION CHASTISE.

Of his approach to his work, Simon has written;

‘I want to respectfully honour the memories of good and courageous young people, regardless of their flag of nationality, and the aircraft in which they performed their duty, sacrificed their lives and won a better tomorrow for all of us.’

All of us at the Dambusters Inn feel deeply honoured to have this fine work of art displayed for all to see and enjoy . . . and remember.

Our sincerest thanks to Simon Atack

P.S. The original painting has been sold.

Read Simon’s vivid and deeply moving account of Flt. Lt. John Vere Hopgood DFC & Bar as he made his ill–fated attack on the Möhne Dam in the early hours of 17th May 1943.

THE COUNTRYSIDE ALLIANCE AWARDS 2019 ( the Rural Oscars ) — the story:

In late 2018, ‘Nominations’ were sent to The Countryside Alliance by many of our customers.

Our customers wrote their recommendations, completed Nomination Forms and submitted them to the Countryside Alliance ‘Rural Oscars’ Campaign.

In January 2019, the Regional Finalists were announced — throughout the eight regions, only thirty–three pubs had reached this ‘Finalist’ stage — and only four of those pubs are in the East of England Region — one of them being the Dambusters Inn.

During March–April 2019, Judges from the Countryside Alliance Awards Campaign visited all of the
thirty–three Finalist Pubs for evaluation.

On 05th April 2019, the Judge visited the Dambusters Inn where Greg Algar (Director) and Steve Plews (Manager) were interviewed.

On 10th May 2019, the Regional Winner in the East of England Pub Category was published on the Campaign website — the Dambusters Inn had won the East of England title.

On 11th May 2019, in the post — arrived the official invitation . . . “from The Lord Mancroft requesting the pleasure of the company of Mr. Greg Algar and Mr. Steve Plews at a reception to celebrate the winners of the Countryside Alliance Awards in the Cholmondeley Room, House of Lords, London, on behalf of the Countryside Alliance in association with Farmers Guardian and the Daily Telegraph, on Wednesday 19 June 2019.”

On Wednesday 19th June 2019 - see image below - left-to-right:

Royal Air Force
Commemorative
Stained Glass Window

A new stained glass window is to be made for St. John the Baptist Church in Scampton, Lincolnshire.

Claire Williamson of CW Glassworks is the designer of this stained glass window and will work alongside her husband Ian who runs ME Stained glass.

It is intended that the design in the window will record the one-hundred years’ relationship between St. John the Baptist Church and the Royal Air Force base in Scampton. Further, the window will be dedicated to and preserve the memory of all Royal Air Force personnel who have served our country during the years 1918 to 2018.

To raise the target sum of £23,927·00 required to finance this project, a ‘crowdfunding’ campaign has been launched with JustGiving.com.

IMAGE HERE - Ian Freshney at his workbench wokrking on a window restoration project.

FULL DETAILS of THE CAMPAIGN are published on the
JustGiving website and on the
St. John the Baptist Church website.

and all the men and women who served here were almost forgotten . . .

image here: Exterior Day. Neglected buildings; formerly Royal Air Force Station Ingham, 1940 until 1946

In 2003 one local person was inspired to research the history of this World War II airfield.

That inspiration kindled the ambitious idea to build a permanent Memorial dedicated to preserve the memory of the people and the place.

That ambitious idea, nurtured and developed over the intervening years, is now a thriving, ongoing project.

That project is

RAF INGHAM HERITAGE CENTRE

Ingham Aviation Heritage Ltd. (Registered Number: 1142147. ) is a charity and all offers of help of whatever kind are warmly welcome.

The Heritage Centre is open to visitors on Sundays from 09:00 until 12:00 where you can see the impressive progress as the restoration building work continues.

The MEMORIAL GARDEN is also open to visitors on Sundays from 09:00 until 12:00.

JOHN THE BAPTIST) CHURCHYARD; Every year, Scampton Church welcomes hundreds of visitors.; The Churchyard contains sixty-four Commonwealth burials of the Second World War and eight German war graves.; During the Second World War there was a Royal Air Force Station at Scampton, and in the early months of the war a plot lying to the right of the entrance was set aside for the burial of servicemen. In 1941 it became necessary to reserve further ground for this purpose and a plot in an extension of the churchyard north of the church was used.; The Commission’s objective is to make sure that the sites – from individual scattered graves to iconic cemeteries and memorials – are visited and explored as a permanent part of local heritage.; The Commission actively engages new audiences and finds innovative ways to involve the whole community with its work – through education and outreach, voluntary activity, arts and heritage projects, local research and partnership working. The Commission aims to increase local awareness of Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) sites, particularly in the UK.; Rising to the challenge of this work, a research project by members of Scampton Church intends to map and document as much personal information as can be discovered, relating to each of the service personnel buried here.; If you would like to help us in any way with this fine project then please contact us.; and . . .

Welcome to Dave’s Daily Bread

Artisan Breads AGA home baked at The Granary, Scampton.

A range of original flavoured breads baked in a variety of sizes and styles.

All breads are made using simple, quality ingredients with no additives, colourants or preservatives. The dough is made from only quality flour, yeast, butter, water and salt – nothing else – and the flavours are hand–kneaded into the dough before shaping and allowed to prove and rise.

All breads are then baked in an AGA to ensure all–round even cooking with great results every time. Image here: a bread display by Dave’s Daily Bread

Once the breads are cooled they are individually wrapped in perforated bread bags to ensure they are allowed to breath and keep fresh. Most breads are then frozen immediately in airtight bags to capture the moisture and freshness and will then keep frozen for at least three months and ready to use anytime.

(Make sure you ‘like’ the Facebook page: Dave’s Daily Bread) as you will be informed of my baking days and have the opportunity to pick up fresh from The Granary on the day.

Also note that I offer FREE DELIVERY on all orders over £10·00 within five miles of Scampton. If you live further away, I will add a small charge for fuel. I can also bake fresh for any specific, large orders; just contact me so we can discuss.

FOOTNOTE

Now, here is a very interesting additional note to Dave’s content above for visitors to this website who may be unfamiliar with the word, AGA.

AGA Cookers

AGA is an abbreviation of the company name, Aktiebolaget Gas Accumulator.

The AGA cooker is a stored–heat stove and cooker invented in 1922 by the Nobel Prize-winning Swedish physicist Dr. Gustaf Dalén (1869 - 1937), who also founded the AGA Company.

In 1912, Dr. Dalen lost his sight in an explosion. Forced to stay at home, Dr. Dalen discovered that his wife was exhausted by cooking. Although blind, he was determined to develop a new stove that was capable of every culinary technique and was easy to use. It is also capable of heating a house.

In 1929 the cooker was introduced to England by Bell’s Heat Appliances.
