Ok for you people who are more historically minded – i am trying to find out if any Polish servicemen were trained during WW2 at Abingdon , through no. 10 OTU (Operational Training Unit)…… be very interested to hear from anyone with any knowledge on that one.(PM me)
Secondly, am i right in thinking that Spitfire BM597 (?) is painted up in Polish Markings?? – & anyone know of any other historics painted up in Polish markings? Interested to find out – anyone??
Lastly, the website for my Abingdon Fayre ‘Air & Country Show’ will soon be:
http://www.abingdonfayre.com
The other website address still exists but not for much longer.

I believe the Battle unit at Benson did have some Polish personel during WW2,not so sure about Abbo though…….
Can’t think of any warbirds in Polish markings but will keep eye out for you…..
Do I detect a Polish theme for AbFayre 2005…;)

Hi Neil
I have never come across any poles in 10 OTU (whitleys!). I’ll have a look and see, but certainly don’t know of any off hand.
Cheers
