Gaining An R.A.F Pilots Brevet In WW II

[Pom Pax]

At 2 ANS Thorney Island '57 - '58 there were quite a few Polish staff Pilots. Only one commissioned a Flt/Lt on the NF10s but driving the Varsitys many NCOs and M/Ps with unpronounceable names beginning in Z...…., so long they would not fit in the box in ones log book. At least one whose Penglish was very challenging. Quite a few names on here vaguely ring bells.
I did some exercises with a M/P Garbuz whom Pontius Navigator recalls some 7 years later still up front in a Varsity. No wonder it has been said they knew their way round the British Isles without maps, charts or student help.
In Franek Grabowski's link http://www.muzeumlotnictwa.pl/digitalizacja_archiwaliow/katalog/1974/20.jpg there is a co-pilot listed whose name probably still strikes fear in the hearts of his former students for his lack of CRM.
