I've had two lovely holidays on the Isle of Wight and would love to visit again. Really enjoyed this and learnt a lot.

The Polish destroyers were both built at East Cowes. Błyskawica was in the harbour for maintenance when the Germans bombed the town, but the ship fought back all through the night, saving the town. She is now a floating museum in Poland where you can visit her.
