Would anyone be able to provide a name of the pilot/airman in the photo (first left)? Many thanks.

I have information that the pilot in the middle is S/Ldr Witold Retinger of 308 Squadron. If anyone has any information or knows someone who will be able to help about the airman on the left, I would be most grateful, as I am searching for my grandad who was a Polish pilot/airman (he was stationed on the same RAF base as my grandmother but sadly my father was given up for adoption). Thank you.
