The Olomouc Region Authority´s  No One man was among the participants and confirmed to me, that Reunions like this would be held every year.

He kept his promise. The Reunions are held every November in the town of Olomouc but our Branch of the Czech Airmen Association has had nothing to do with them. The questions adressed to the Olomouc Region Authority has been replied neither to our Branch of the Czech Airmen Association nor to a son of a No 310 Sqn´s member Frantisek Adam.
