That's strange, because AFAIK the dog was buried at RAF Scampton, where Operation Chastise took off from.
The dog was killed in the afternoon before the raid and Gibson instructed a LAC to construct a coffin. The LAC refused and Gibson stormed off, only just being pesuaded not to put the man on a charge.
