wb-krk. I note in your original post you want any info on Polish aircrew for possible museum use. If you send me a private message with your address I can send the fairly scant details of my late brother in law's elder brother, Flt Lt Wladyslaw Drecki, who was killed in 1943 flying a Spitfire in Sicily.

Further to my last post, and slightly off the subject, I wanted to add a tribute to my instructor on Meteors at Driffield, Fg Off Jerry Sodec, another of those great chaps who escaped from Europe and flew with the RAF during and after the war. He was a Czechoslavakian gentleman, and fairly difficult to understand at ground level. At 35000ft in a Meteor 7, unpressurised-impossible!
But he was a splendid instructor, and made learning to fly the Meatbox great fun.
