I, regrettably, have forgotten the name of the captain, who was , I believe, Polish.
Quite possibly Joe Kmiecik, A small, wiry man, with a great sense of humour. I did the Varsity refresher at Oakington in '73, and he was on the course then. I believe he had been a prisoner of the Russians until Barbarossa. He flew one of the Lancasters in "The Dam Busters" film..
