Saint Jack
Piotr Bobrowski ex-No 306 Sqn Mustang pilot. He passed away in 1973 at RAF Brize Norton.
Wacław 'Nick' Niezręcki, he flew SD Halifaxes during the war, later RPAF, returned to the UK and joined RAF. At some point flew Canberras. He delivered Lancaster PA474 to BBMF, as he was found to have most recent experience on Lancasters in the RAF from a few years back, ignoring Shackleton jocks!

Sycamore
Bolesław Baranowski, ex-No 307 Sqn Mosquito nav. In 1965 he took photos of Indonesian Tu-16 (Where are the pics? Seen one in a journal of low quality.)
The story is great, and that is what I am after. A typical record of a Polish airman is: arrived to the squadron, flew a lot, left the squadron. With fitters it is even worse. Not the kind of information, making pleasant read. Many thanks!

Sinco
I do, and I was in touch with the family, have his logs. The other Arrow pilot was Władysław 'Spud' Potocki. All stories are welcome!
