    Hello - I was wondering if any Polish speakers here can do me a favour and translate this picture for me. It relates to an Air show I believe most of the text is in Polish

    AM_25.jpg

    Thanks for checking.

    Please allow that I am only a learner, so if a Polish person offers something very different, go with their version.


    I think it's along the lines of..

    It was like an 'air show' that started at 1.30pm.
    Various tricky demonstrations and here is a picture of one plane that flew/swooped/passed(? - I don't know what sposcil sie is) over people's heads.

    Hey, you are very good Spurious. Spuscil is a past form from spuszczac which means to pull down/ to lower or just having an erection...;)

    I don't really want to go too far into technicalities, but just to clarify - "spuscic sie" does not mean "to have an erection" but "to come" :D

    This text is probably written by someone who lived in an English speaking country for too long or used google translate :D Some phrases are literal English-Polish translations and some noun cases are wrong. Also, the spelling is quite poor

    It says:
    This one was taken during Air Show at 1.30pm. They were showing different tricks and here I took a picture of one plane as it plunged over the heads of people
