Last of the valiant era ...

Brigadier General Tadeusz Sawicz received Poland's highest honour and Britain's Distinguished Flying Cross for shooting down three German aircraft. 

He is believed to be the last pilot of the Polish air forces - he fought in the 1940 Battle of Britain and served in the RAF until 1947.

His death marks the passage of another brave soul of a great generation.
