My father was one of the Dutch pilots that joined the Canadian Air Force at the start of the war and flew Spitfires with the RAF. He did not talk much about it, but he always said that the White Cliffs were the most beautiful things he had ever seen.
Joe, my late father came over from Poland and was a Spitfire pilot and like yours spoke very little of his experiences but his log book tells all.
He had many log books during his flying career but during his final weeks he bound them into one volume and left it to me as his eldest and only son.
I have always left it with my stepmother as a comfort for her since his passing 35 years ago but I shall be picking it up soon when we visit as someone has requested some information about his exploits flying an ME 109g for a book they are writing.

The bit about the VE day Flypast that annoyed all the Poles was that they were not allowed to take part in it, by this time Churchill was in bed with Stalin and he expressly forbid it and Churchill capitulated once more after the sell out of Polish territories to him.
