    From Left to Right

    1) Pilot from 300 Squadron

    2) Pilot from 300 Squadron

    3) Kapitan Naw. P76798 Witold Zurawski 300 Sqdn.

    4) Porucznik P76696 Franciszek Jakusz-Gostomski 300 Sqdn.

    5) Kapitan pil. P76737 Teofil Pozyczka 301 Sqdn.

    6) Porucznik P0101 Stanislaw Liszka 301 Sqdn.

    The Distinguished Flying Medal recipient could be: St.Sierz. P792076 Romuald Malachowski 300 Sqdn. but it needs to be confirmed.

    Anyway I hope that you liked seeing some rare colour photographs from the War

    Best wishes
