Thank you Matthew for uploading this ceremony. The decision to rename this loco, albeit temporarily, is a bold decision and should be applauded in order to commemorate those airman, this should have been done at the time so it's good to see it now.
Stored until the loco is renamed back to SKP. The loco will run as 303 Squadron for a year in order to honour and commerate the Polish pilots of 303 Squadron, and then in 2025 it will return to it's normal name.
