IV. Benedykt Kempski`s Memorial

Benedykt Kempski was born in January of 1938 in Balczewo (not far from Inowroclaw). Situated nearby sport and military aerodrome in Latkowo, as he used to say, kindled in him a passion for flight. Even as a young child he used to 'design' and build wooden flying models, which sometimes 'flew' for a bit and sometimes did not. Yet his greatest passion was parachute jumping . In 1956, he started parachute jumping training and later in Kujawski Aero Club he learnt how to fly a glider and a plane. He made over 300 parachute jumps before he was mobilized to a military service. He was a paratrooper in the 6 Dywizja Powietrzno-Desantowa, but complex break after one of his jumps made his superiors to move him to Latkowo (near Inowroclaw). That is where he started his proffesional career (for a couple of years he also was an instructor in 37 Pułk Śmiglowcow Transportowych w Leznica near Leczyca, where he trained among others Libyan pilots). As a parachute jumper he jumped out of every helicopter available at that time in Poland (including Mi-6 and as a first in Poland from Mi-24 in 1979). He ended his career after 35 years of service with a title of a master instructor of parachute jumping and golden paratrooper`s badge with three diamonds. His passion for flight led him to a scale modelling- he built about 20 scale models from tilia and balsa wood. At the beginning of the 60` he started publishing activity. For almost four decades he created for 'Modelarz' ('Modeller') magazine (published once a month) he designed over 100 blueprints for planes, gliders and helicopters (including series titled 'Helicopters of Polish Air Forces'). He also published for Ministry of National Defence, for which he created over 20 volumes about aviation for series titled 'Types of Weapon and Armaments'.

After his death (August 2008) members of ISMR asked his wife Mrs. Benedykta to allow them to make him a patron of their scale modelling competition. This tradition started in April 2009 (it was the 3rd Scale Modelling Competition in Inowroclaw).

 

Awards are founded and presented by son Piotr and his wife Mariola (the winner is chosen be them and not jury committee).

 

V. Piotr Stempowski`s Memorial

Piotr Stempowski was one of founding members of ISMR, and a board member as long as his welfare allowed it, but since may of 2015 he became an honourary member of ISMR. He was well-known for his precise paper models, and acclaimed among modellers. He spent the last years of life on building big paper models of ships and vessels.

Piotr Stempowski`s Memorial is for ships and vessels models of a total length of at least 100 cm. To take part in this Memorial one ought to mark a special bracket/box with a tick. Chosen by an organizer of IKM Mk.XIVc jury committee will determine if models full fill the length requirement. In some cases jury committee may gran a Memorial award to a shorter model.
