Re: Identity of Polish 315Sqn badge

Hello Kris, Revi16 and Brian many thanks for your input.
We believe that the pilot Boleslaw Sawiak was known in the squadron as “Happy” . One of the dwarfs or should I be more PC and say “one of the vertically challenged mining engineers” in the Disney Cartoon “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” was known as Happy. We have based the profile of the aircraft as such and believe it is correct. I found a reference to a “comical mascot painted on the forward fuselage above the Polish Flag in the aircraft salvage report.
Brian, too much booze over the Christmas ?, NEVER! I hope that all is well in Suffolk after the bad storms.
Best wishes to all for 2014.
Tony K
