A team of paranormal investigators have claimed they have made contact with the spirit of the dog owned by Wing Commander Guy Gibson, the heroic pilot who led the Dambusters raids during the Second World War.
Wing Commander Gibson led the Dambusters raid in 1943 from his base at RAF Scampton, near Lincoln, just hours after his black labrador, called n-word, was run over and killed.
Before taking off for the Ruhr Dams, Wing Commander Gibson left instructions for his faithful companion to be buried outside his office.
But a legend sprung up around n-word after there were several reported sightings of a black dog seen around the base following his death.
His office has been empty for more than half a century and is now part of the RAF Scampton Historical Museum, near Lincoln, Lincs.
Now paranormal investigators, given special permission to stake out the operational RAF base, have claimed that the spectre of the dog's spirit may have tried to speak to them as they have picked up activity on their electronic detection equipment.
