Polish Pilot Identity?
The officer in the centre is Michael Staples of 609 Sqn, convalescing after being shot down on 7 October 1940. Possibly taken at Torquay.
Can anyone identify the Polish officers? Only one seems to be a pilot. Last edited by Andy Saunders; 9th February 2010 at 09:42.

Re: Polish Pilot Identity?
Hello Andy,
Neither of them seems to be a pilot. The one on the left has a non-pilot brevet (most probably observer's/navigator's) the other one has none at all. Any chance for a higher res scan of their Polish ranks (collar patches), RAF ranks (sleeves) and the brevet? Any idea of the timeframe?

I might struggle with a higher res scan, but will try. Send me a PM with your e-mail as I have a feeling I no longer have it. Failing that, you can borrow my print. I hadn't noticed that the other brevet was not a pilot, by the way! This has to be taken some time post 7 October 1941, and well before 9 November 1941. I suspect it is at Torquay.
