Friday Morning Talks: PAFMC 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain Commemorative Film – With Richard Kornicki
February 3, 2023 at 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Join us for our Friday morning talk, where we will be showing the Polish Air Force Memorial Committee’s 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain Commemorative Film.
Chairman of the PAFMC Richard Kornicki, returns following his well attended and successful talk in September on the Polish Air Force in the West. Richard, Son of the late gen. bryg. Franciszek Kornicki who flew in the battle with the legendary Polish 303 Squadron, will introduce the film and take questions afterwards.
The film was produced to mark the 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Covid prevented the annual Commemoration of the Polish Air Force in 2020, so this filmed virtual Commemoration was produced in its stead and to stand as a permanent record. The film includes unique footage of the RAF Northolt Sector Control room, fully staffed by re-enactors, bringing back to life the operations of 15 Sept 1940. Tributes are paid by the Chief of the Air Staff and the Mayor of Hillingdon, and Polish folk singers add their own poignant tribute.
This talk will take place onsite in the Museum’s Learning Centre and is included in Museum admission or Annual Membership.
