What can be found at: Polish Airmen Memorial Site
On 22nd September 1943 the crew of a 6 (C)O.T.U. Wellington undertook a training flight, while based at Silloth near Carlisle the flight took them over the Pennine hills. Poor weather over the Pennines saw the aircraft land safely at Skipton on Swale airfield. The Skipton on Swale station orb mentions a 6 (C)O.T.U. making a landing there because of the weather and also because it had a problem with the wireless equipment, this orb recorded the aircraft as being Wellington HE426 and the pilot as being Sgt Ciaston. The crew and aircraft remained overnight at Skipton on Swale.
