Try google translator. It might work.

Ah, the fun things we can sometimes do when circumstances and the stars align!
I refer to the winching, not the translating.

I'm pretty sure google translator confirmed what I already suspected,
i.e. that this was done in Poland by Polish pilots. From the pictures, I
gather: a) they were ladies; b) it was cold; and c: it was a day of classic
convective streets, likely unsoarable in a Perkoz.
