ORP Blyskawica
4th May remembrance ceremony
FRIENDS of the ORP Blyskawica once again met at the parade ground in Cowes to commemorate the anniversary of the Blyskawica's defence of the town in 1942.
Built by J.S.Whites in 1936 the Polish ship returned to Cowes in May 1942 for a refit and whilst there defended the town against an attack by a large force of German bombers. Only the presence of the Blyskawica and her unwavering anti-aircraft fire prevented the town from being destroyed.
