Image source, EPAA clean-up operation's under way after white paint was thrown at the Bomber Command memorial in Green Park, London, the fourth time in six years the statue has been attacked.
The memorial commemorates the more than 55,500 members of Bomber Command who died in World War Two - many of whom flew from bases in Lincolnshire and the east of England.
Staff at the International Bomber Command Centre (IBCC), near Lincoln, say the vandalism shouldn't prevent the story of those who died in the war being told.

"We've had 14 break-ins - anything from theft to vandalism. So we've had to put up high-level CCTV and we've had to fence in the entire site with security fencing which didn't come cheap."
