In early July 1943, General Wladyslaw Sikorski Prime Minister and Commander-
In-Chief of the Polish forces in exile stopped at Gibraltar on his way
from Cairo to London on the night of 4 July 1943, a British bomber with
General Sikorski on board crashed into the sea shortly after take-off,
the cause of this mysterious accident has never been ascertained; a
fact which has given rise to many speculations, doubts and rumors. On
this spot Douglas F.Martin a radio-operator with spacial operations
executive, had his transmitting station, roughly four hundred metres
from the plane. He was the only witness who actually saw the crash.
