Captain. Pilot in the R.A.F.

Wojciech was my father''s closest, and physically small, friend from WW2, he flew as a fighter pilot with PAF, including hunting V1 missiles.
He was censured whilst based in the Shetlands, for cramming himself and a seriously wounded comrade into a fighter cockpit then flying to the mainland during a storm which barred medical and other flights.
Toward the end of the war he flew Mustangs from Hethel Airfield (now Lotus Cars), escorting US bombers on raids over Germany.
After the war he became an aircraft engineer working at Gatwick Airport. He had suffered with throat cancer for some time when it became terminal, my father arranged for him to be cared for at the RAF hospice near Brighton until his death.
