Canada Poland Museum, Adegem, Belgium. An in depth interview with owner, Mr. Gilbert Van Landschoot, of Canada Poland Museum, in Adegem Belgium. The history behind the Museum, what it means to the local people, and a sneak peek inside the Museum !
In Canada we have 1 of 2 still flying lancaster bombers dedicated its Mynarski Memorial Lancaster to the memory of Pilot Officer Andrew Charles Mynarski, VC, of 419 (Moose) Squadron, 6 (RCAF) Cont,
Group. Mynarski won 6 Group's only Victoria Cross, the Commonwealth's highest award for gallantry in battle. On the night of 12/13 June 1944, his Lancaster X was shot down by a Luftwafffe night fighter. As the bomber plunged earthwards, Mynarski, his flying clothing afire, tried in vain to free his trapped rear gunner from the jammed rear turret. Miraculously, the gunner lived to relate the story of Mynarski's bravery. Unfortunately, Mynarski died from his severe burns.
