Hi all,
Like most people on here I have started to look into my family past. Dad having been in the Polish army & mum being a prisoner of war, working the land in Germany both ended up in an ex RAF camp/farm. RAF Castle Donington, Leicestershire was closed in 1945 but the farm which was on the same land took in displaced people, mainly Polish. That is where mum & dad met & like many couples eventually got jobs, moved out & got married & lived their life here in Nottingham. The sad thing is I cannot find anything about this camp. Can anyone suggest where I might find information? Many thanks.
