Issue 5407 is only on sale for one more day, but did you know the story was in part inspired by the ORP Orzel which escaped Poland, then Estonia, to reach Britain where it joined the Royal Navy 2nd Submarine flotilla? - QM
#OnThisDay in 1939 Henryk Kłoczkowski, commanding officer of the Polish submarine #Orzel, fell ill. He refused to relinquish command to his junior officer, even as his illness grew worse. #ww2#history#Polska#BalticSea
A battle between an @F1 and an F1H20 in the heart of #Warsaw by @TeamORLEN!
It’s not every day you see such a spectacle on land, air and water, right? 👀 @PKN_ORLEN
A rare picture of some of the Orzel crew with a British signalman who translated love letters from the local women in Scotland. Documented in the book Orzel’s Patrol by Erik Sopocko who trained aboard the Orzel. #ww2#Poland#Scotland#Orzel
The first wreck has been surveyed. It was a #submarine but not #ORPOrzel. We lowered the #ROV and dived to check. The wreck looked like #WW1#British#HMS#L10. It is in one piece and was sunk on 3 Oct 1918 by a #German war ship. The search for Orzel by @SantiFindEagle continues.
Prepararions are in their final stages & we will set off soon on the 9th expedition to search for 🇵🇱 #WW2#submarine#ORPOrzel lost 80 years ago while on duty with the @RoyalNavy.This time @SantiFindEagle team go in cooperation with @seawarmus on their fully fitted survey vessel.
Przygotowaliśmy podglądową mapę, wszystkich naszych dotychczasowych Ekspedycji 2014-2019, oraz łącznego obszaru poszukiwań na Morzu Północnym. Łatwo dostrzec w których rejonach intensyfikowaliśmy swoje poszukiwania. Pokazuje to ona duży rejon przed nami.
Our 2019 @SantiFindEagle 8th expedition route explored zone 'A3', the first area patrolled by #ORPOrzel in #WW2 between 24 May & 1 June 1940 @RoyalNavy. We scanned 1824 km of sea bed and precision mapped 83 #wrecks. We have not found Orzel this year but we will be back again...
