MigBuster 2,884 Posted October 15, 2013 Poland football fans plan to unveil a flag at the World Cup qualifying match against England commemorating Polish pilots' role in the Battle of Britain. The Polish checkerboard design of the 20m x 20m (65ft x 65ft) flag is the symbol of the Polish Air Force. The RAF's 303 Squadron, formed with Polish aircrew, was Fighter Command's most successful unit in the Battle of Britain. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-24535805 Best of luck for tonight 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Hinchinbrooke 36 Posted October 16, 2013 Visiting my grand parents every other week, we used to drive past the memorial to the Free Poles next to RAF Northolt. There were/are always wreaths. Having said that, I'm glad England beat Poland tonight. Not that they'll win the World Cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
