Sorry to butt in chaps, however you may have the necessary expertise to help solve a puzzle.
This thread on WW2Talk has photos of a Polish Air Force funeral, we're told.
Unidentified Polish Air Force funeral | WW2Talk
Does anyone recognise the hangars in WW2? (OK, before most of you were born, but you do seem ble to answer many posers)
First suggestions were Waddington, but that's no longer certain.
The church may be a help, as presumably it's not far from a WW2 aerodrome with significant Polish presence.
It's obviously late autumn to early spring, but one of the Polish ground crew had these photos when he died, but he didn't get to the UK till mid 1942.
So it's winter 1942 onwards, hangars, lorry, any other clues you sharp eyed guys can winkle out, that may help?

The churchyard has 2 headstones but so far not able to discern the names which might at least answer where the church is, and thus the airfield and narrow down who is/are being buried.

Thanks in advance, all assistance appreciated.
How long will it take? How many guesses? 10; 20; 50?
There are a lot of Polish reburials in Newark, it's not there from what I can see, so it's over to you to see if you can do better
