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.

Earlier this year, Walter sent in his Application to join the Macmillan Cancer Support Running Team. In mid–April, he was thrilled to receive a telephone call from Macmillan offering him a place in the Team (one of only four-hundred places allocated to this charity in this year's London Marathon).

A MESSAGE FROM WALTER — Monday 27^th September 2021

There is just under a week to go till the race and I can’t thank everyone who has supported me so far enough! I have now exceeded my target of £3000 and am absolutely over the moon!

I did my final long run on Sunday and this final week is resting and doing a couple of short runs to keep things ticking over before the weekend.

I am excited, scared, anxious and proud but mainly I just want to enjoy myself and the race and take the day as it comes. The experience so far has been unlike anything else and it’s crazy to think this time next week it will be over!

Thanks again for the continued support and donations. Please keep donating if you can so I can raise as much as possible for this amazing charity!

Official Charity of the Year
for the 2021 Virgin Money London Marathon,
taking place on Sunday 03 October.

Virgin Money Is A Trading Name Of Clydesdale Bank PLC. and Virgin Money Giving is A not–for–profit company from Virgin Money.
Virgin Money Giving was created by Virgin Money as a result of Virgin Money’s sponsorship of the London Marathon. Having taken a look at how runners raise money, it became clear there was a better way of doing things. So Virgin Money Giving was born, as a not–for–profit alternative to other fundraising websites. Whilst you can’t do this for free, you can do it without making a profit.

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.”

About the Campaign for Real Ale

Founded in 1971, The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) is considered one of the most successful consumer organisations across Europe.

This organisation’s mission is to promote and advocate (among other aims) the production, availability and consumption of quality real ale, cider, and perry; and to promote pubs and clubs as social centres — a part of the United Kingdom’s cultural heritage.

St. John the Baptist Church

Building Development Project

“Since before the Norman conquest Scampton Church has, through the ages, been the place where local people have gathered.
Once again, we want our church to be the place where local people come to, meet and socialise, to be entertained, and for help when they need it.”

The Building Development Project is an ambitious scheme to reorder the village church in Scampton.

The scheme will create a ‘Community Hub’ — a place and a space where the hundreds of visitors to the area each year can be better served when they visit the church and its churchyard wherein the Commonwealth War Graves Commission maintains a reserved part of the grounds.

Already, much essential maintenance to the fabric of the church and improvement to the facilities has been accomplished.

Quite naturally, any help that you can offer to support this exciting programme will be very welcome.

You can peruse the architects’ plans and read all about it in a gentle introduction to the scheme written by Sue.

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.
