317 Polish Squadron

[Adam J]

Hey guys,

My names Adam and i am pretty new to the forum. I collect tr mainly but have some items my grandad gave me. from 1942 he was on 317 polish squadron as an armour on spitfires. He is english, he came to be in the squadron by chance. An officer asked 8 for volunteers at the end of his basic. He put his hand up and then was attached to the squadron. I was wondering if anyone has any information on the squadron. I have a lot of pictures of spitfires, shot down 109's and some v1 pictures he took if anyone would be interested in looking at them

Regards Adam

Hi, post away, they sound like interesting photos - the only Polish RAF items I've got are a couple of Battle of Britain period combat reports from 303 Squadron & a photo of a bomber showing the crest of a Polish Squadron.
