Relative to Stefan Manek
On the night of 11 November 1944 no. 1662 HCU Halifax II JN967 crashed during a training flight in Lincs killing the crew (P/O Michal Wisniewski, Sgts Leszek Milewski, Stanislaw Babiacki, Jan Rzetelny, Stefan Manek, Mieczyslaw Kozlowski and Franciszek Piwoda – all Polish). Remains of the aeroplane were found in 1962. I am looking for information about the circumstances of the discovery and recovery of the wreck and the bodies.original quote.
My father’s auntie was married to Stefan Manek part of the Polish flight crew on 1662 HCU Halifax II JN967.They had a daughter (my fathers cousin).I know after speaking to my father that very little information was known about the circumstances surrounding this crash.My dads cousin would be very interested if anybody has information about Stefan Manek ,ie his friends, relatives or anyone who knew him.
Thanks .
