    Richard provided this photo with the squadron names

    http://www.geocities.com/Mohikanie/307/gallery/EW1.html

    He is Sgt Danilo-Sniezowski and was an instructor at Debin before the war.

    He had a near fatal accident not long after this photo in a Flying Coffin

    After recovering he was with No 10 AGS and finished of in 304 squadron

    He is real gentleman and and very modest, he has spent his life since the war upholding the memory of his fallen collegues and recording his memories of leaving Poland via Romania through France (was in a bomber squadron down in the south), but never talks about his personal wartime experiances only when they involve another.

    After looking through my Woodvale stuff I would say no, it dosn’t look right for Woodvale but I could be wrong, send it to Aldon Ferguson he should be able to confirm it for sure as this is one of his expert areas.

    There are plenty in the waters around RAF Millom, one of the better ones is a Botha lying on its back and at certain low tides the undercarriage can be seen, a number of them are marked on a map.

    Please get in touch if intrested

    I spoke to them last week, the Wessex has gone to another museum, they didn’t state their name, but they have had a helicopter from them in the past. We made a request for the Gannet and have gone on a list of intrested parties, the MD will soon make a decission based on the merits of each request.

    They can only be moved in November when the season finishes.

    Contact the Ulster Aviation Society,

    Have contacted them and awaiting reply.

    Anyone fancy volunteering to assist dismantle the 330 ready for transport, it is currently at Blackpool Airport.

    We have been asked to remove it ASAP, we also have a dismantled Jetstream 31 at the airport ready for transport.

    Now looking at the possibility of a HS748

    Correction

    It appears I was misinformed, after getting corrected information it turns out it is a Short 330, G-SSWA. Currently residing at Blackpool Airport fire dump being used as an evacuation trainer.

    At 27 years old does it qualify to be historic.
