Krakow
We visited this museum last year – and that was all due to someone on this forum made a thread about recovering a Mustang at Goulds Farm, Raine, Esssex by the group shown below – My mother was married to the pilot Alex Pietrzak who’s aircraft they recovered and the society were appealing for relatives to contact them – which I did – all credits to this forum and it’s great members.
Many of the small pieces recovered we presented to the museum along with his medals and his log books. They were very impressed as to the standard of restoring these pieces and also regarding the information the Society had discovered about Alex.
The museum is tremendous and the Polish people fantastic, of course we were provided with a private viewing by the directors. There is a great hotel very close by but can not remember the name and was only about £60 to stay the night for a room of 3 – just over the road. Visit the market place as well – I can assure you it is well worth the visit.
The museum in Warsaw is also superb – we were in Poland for a week and loved the place.
I have since joined this society and although I know very little about aviation history they asked me to build the website for them and having never done it before – gave it a go.
Thanks to all of you for starting to make this happen. Enjoy Poland, we did and for sure will visit again soon.
