Antos !
You've invited me for so long so I decided to finally join!
The Canadian hat was your favorite from what I remember.

This is my humble contribution to commemorate of Battle of Britain's 75th anniversary, Here's my small Royal Air Force/ Polish Air Force 1939-45 display. Thank you
Kind Regards

Very nice display of your collection. May the many heroes of that battle be never forgotten.
Aleks, a tasteful display that includes some interesting items.
The Spink & Son made KW is the type known to have been awarded to the many pilots who played such a pivotal role, in the words Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding of RAF Fighter Command:
"Had it not been for the magnificent material contributed by the Polish squadrons and their unsurpassed gallantry, I hesitate to say that the outcome of the Battle would have been the same."
Cheers,
Tony

Tony, Thank you for your comment, and brilliant quote!
Group Captain John Alexander "Johnny" Kent DFC & Bar, AFC, Virtuti Militari, words:
" I cannot say how proud I am to have been privileged to help form and lead No. 303 squadron and later to lead such a magnificent fighting force as the Polish Wing. There formed within me in those days an admiration, respect and genuine affection for these really remarkable men which I have never lost. I formed friendships that are as firm as they were those twenty-five years ago and this I find most gratifying. We who were privileged to fly and fight with them will never forget and Britain must never forget how much she owes to the loyalty, indomitable spirit and sacrifice of those Polish fliers. They were our staunchest Allies in our darkest days; may they always be remembered as such!"
Regards

Hello Alex,
A very nice display, would it be possible to have scanned copies of the photographs, mainly because I have the medals of one of the Pilots shown.
Also if you would like to know who is shown in the Photographs I would be delighted to let you know.
Best wishes
Andrzej
