About Me
- ARCHIVE
- I am a local historian who got involved with the Polish Air Force because one of their aircraft fell out of the sky near the village where I was born. That was in December 1940 and I never even heard of it until September of 2007. It started as a local history project, then snowballed into an obsession as I realised the huge contribution made by Polish exiles who fought for our freedom. I never realised just how big was the Polish contribution, nor how badly the British and Americans treated them at the end of the War - just to appease Joseph Stalin's territorial ambitions - a matter of expediency taking precedence over decency and with no justifiable reason. Now that all, or almost all, of these Polish heroes are dead, it is not too late to ensure that these brave men are remembered and that those memories are preserved forever. It's time the British showed the Poles that some of us remember and appreciate just how much they did for us. They fought, and very often died, for our freedom - and we owe them a debt of honour.

I have just got into this site. i am somewhat behind the times on Blogs!
My name is Alastair Graham. My father Acting Wing Commander Bill Graham was the RAF Liaison Officer with 304()P) Squadron from its inception at Bramcote until he was shot down a few weeks before I was born, in May 1941.I have been in touch with Mariusz Konarski the writer of a book about the Squadron. My father told my mother that it was an honour to serve with Polish flyers and I agree that their bravery and resourcefulness is not well understood in the UK.
