June 18, 1940: The French government asks for an armistice with Nazi Germany five weeks after the invasion of France. General Wladyslaw Sikorski, Commander-in-Chief of Polish forces fighting in France, refuses to surrender with the French and arrives in London to arrange the evacuation of his troops to the UK.
On the same day, Zdzislaw Hennenberg (who later became a 303 Squadron ace) led his flight group of three fighters and a transport across the English Channel —the only Polish unit to fly their aircraft from France to Britain.
I wonder what happened to the aircraft Hennenberg's flight brought with them?
