Subject: Faldingworth Memorial Service - 300th squadron
Hello, Im a Canadian lady, my father (Walter Swirski), RAF pilot, met my mom while at Faldingworth. Father (and his parents) were removed from their home (at gunpoint) in Poland for being "unwanted elements" of the communist system (they belonged to the underground) and served 2 years in a Siberian prison camp. Father was released and went to England where he flew Lancaster bombers. Father has not been to England in 50 years (he & my mom emmigrated to Canada). He is coming to England on Sept 8 for a "service" for the 300th squadron at Faldingworth. Please post to this site if you or your relatives belonged to the 300th squadron and remember the bomber pilot named "Walter Swirski" - i'd like to arrange for them to meet up. Although, considering my fathers age, 84, I doubt that many of his friends are still alive. Thanks kindly, Mary.
