I am going Poland next week what to see?

I would like to give a huge thank you to VoyTech for his hospitality and for being our guide Lena and i are grateful.
I will post some photo’s of the parafin burners i photo’ed on my visit but i need download them first.

And this is him with his Belorussian Connection at the entrance to the Polish Army Museum’s aviation collection.

I hope to post some photo’s of my visit on here

DufordHawk working on it yesterday.

Flying early in morning from Luton to Warsaw hope to share photos here and on General forums when im back.
So here goes 5days without me being in forum Take care all.

September 10th I believe

whens that again?

Plan A was for the spring (April-ish)

However, there’s now a Plan B, which involves the August Bank Holiday weekend, catching Radom Airshow (which was cracking last time it was held, in 2003)

Any thoughts?

August would suit me better, spring maybe too close to the March holiday, I was also hoping to get to Malta for the Merlins over Malta weekend as well.

Flights for next spring are cheap at the moment, though I can’t get any prices past March 31.

What month do you think the trip will be organised for ?

Ever thought of becoming a moderator ?

And don’t I know it ? Chailey is for ever imprinted on my memory for all the wrong reasons.

It will be the official uniform – is the world ready for your knees Ian?

It’s just an upward progression from the feet, and if the world can tolerate you legs then mine wouldn’t be a problem.

I’d jump at the chance as well, but may be in Tanzania at that time.

If Robbo goes, will we all have to wear shorts ?

Aviation-wise, the aircraft museum in Kraków is absolutely excellent and has a collection which ranks amongst the best. The city is beautiful (and great fun!) as well, and Auschwitz isn’t too far away either – the latter definately make you feel terrible for some time to come.

I don’t think anyone is ever ‘ready’ to go and see the camps. I visited Bergen-Belsen two years ago without planning to do so. Just stumbled across it while driving through Germany. I’m very glad I went though, as it was one of the most humbling experiences of my life. We all need that from time to time. I wouldn’t be so pretentious as to say it’s a life changing experience, but it certainly does alter your outlook and gives some perspective to the everyday stuff somewhat; what seems important today pales into relative insignificance after you’ve visited a camp. Go and do it.

Thanks Steve i am giving it serious thought,I have not set a plan of what to see or where to go as such, But part of me feels compelled to visit and pay Tribute at a camp the rest of me is not so sure.
I hope to post some photo’s of my visit on here when i return and if i love Poland i would love to go back there again next year.

I have also considered going to one of the Concentration camps but feel this maybe a little to much for me even though i want to pay my respects.
