They were quite happy to supply full records of two Poles killed in the war, even though we were not next of kin, or even related. The lady in charge was fantastic. We even got the accident cards etc

And the Sikorski Institute were very helpful with a photo of one of the pilots

Re the Polish office at Northolt, on a recent enquiry they asked the NoK for a copy of his death certificate.

Anton. Next of Kin is exactly that-surviving partner, first child, second child etc in that order unless stipulated otherwise by the family

Chriss, what exactly do you mean with that? What´s the "Polish Office"?

And thanks for the contactinfo Franek and Amrit.

Thanks

As was said earlier! What I mean is they do not just hand out personel or personal records without evidence of who you are or your relationship to the person you are asking about. However, if you have written permission on the Next of Kin (and that is not 2nd daughter), you can ask on their behalf. I have just spoken to RAF Northolt and this is what they insist so before everyone starts writing in, please be aware of what I have written!
The only exception is if there are no NoK or family and if the person was killed and the enquiry is from a recognised historical institute.
