The RAF of course wouldn't listen to Polish pilots about their experience of fighting the Germans, until the Polish squadrons began to rack up the highest number of downed enemy aircraft in the Battle of Britain.

Yes, it's strange that you never hear anyone say
"Bloody foreigners, coming over here and playing a major contributory part in the fact that we won the Battle of Britain".
Purely coincidental, I'm sure.
Anyway, stay well sir. All the best to you & yours.
