Olszewski 300 Sqdn.

My dad was with 300 Sqdn working as an airframe fitter on Wellingtons. He was also at Ingham and finished at Faldingworth on Lancasters. In between, he worked with other Polish units on Hurricanes and Spitfires (his favourite). He went to Blackpool on arrival in the UK for RAF training and learning the language. He met my mum at the Tower Ballroom.

    The free section of the Wartime Memories Project website is run by volunteers. We have been helping people find out more about their relatives wartime experiences since 1999 by recording and preserving recollections, documents, photographs and small items.

    The website is paid for out of our own pockets, library subscriptions and from donations made by visitors. The popularity of the site means that it is far exceeding available resources and we currently have a huge backlog of submissions.

    If you are enjoying the site, please consider making a donation, however small to help with the costs of keeping the site running.
