Back in 1990, a group of around 35 visitors from Norway were welcomed by the Scottish Branch of the Polish Airborne Forces Association to a reunion at Largo House. Many of those pictured in the above photograph undertook training at Largo House during the Second World War. Many of the visiting guests belonged to the Norwegian Independent Parachute Company, while many of the Polish attendees belonged to the 1st Polish Independent Parachute Brigade. Among the group are local Polish men Teddy Roy and George Harvey (the Leven-based photographer). The group from Norway were led by General Ole Jacob Bangstad. As the East Fife Mail reported at the time, "special memories were revived...among people from two countries who forged links nearly 50 years ago on Scottish soil".
