Ttn, I know that you and others who served with the Royal Air Force hold strong views about the decision of the RAFM to hold this poll.
Whether or not I agree with those views, I respect the strength of the argument.
However in the last couple of days there been contributions to the discussion which might lead some to think that the intervention of the Polish Embassy and overwhelming support of the very distinguished WWII fighter pilot that you have named in some way strengthens the case against holding the Poll.
As the son of a WWII fighter recon pilot who incidentally did fly a MKV Spitfire in 1943, I hold no view about the Poll, other than to recognise that it reflects another attempt to engage public attention on the role of those who served in the the Royal Air Force in that war.
