Contact Made
We are in contact with the family of this former Spitfire Pilot – any information you have would be very interesting for our web site, but what is your interest in Geoff Hill?
I will put you in contact with the family if they agree and after clarification of the above.
Best regards
Kelvin
Kev – just the type of article we are looking for.
Look forward to hearing from you further.
Kind regards

If your friend would like a page of honour made for his lost relative we would be happy to look at it if you could email the information available?
Contact either via the site or PM me.

Alex Pietrzak
Many thanks for that lead Adrian – I have found his contact details and emailed him this evening. You really are a helpful lot on here and anyone who would like a copy of the DVD slide show that I am putting together I would be happy to send one – once completed that is. A book may well follow as the story has many interesting items.
Thanks again.
Kelvin
Links
Again, many thanks for the links. It really is very much appreciated. I am sure that eventually and probably through this forum I will, in time make contact with some former 309 relatives. What a great day that will be.
Mustang
It is with great thanks I write this message and also in the hope that someone reading this can put me in touch with Alex’s friends/relatives from any of the squadrons he served with, 302, 316 and 309 suadron’s. Or if any of you learned visitors can guide me to area’s to search – would be appreciated.
I understand that a son of a former 309 squadron pilot also lives in that area and has many photographs – be great to find him.
We hope to erect some form of memorial in the area shortly. We plan to take some of the pieces of the Mustang to the Museum in Krakow, Poland later this year. They already have his medals and logbooks that his son donated earlier in 2007.

I became interested seeing a website from a chap in Canada who had listed Alex as an V1 Ace but no details on him – so emailed what I had.

What a find this article is!
My mother was Alex’s wife and my elder brother – Stefan Pietrzak – Alex’s son. We are also doing some research into Alex and would be happy to make contact with anyone within this dig / group who share the same interests as us.
