Alek Tarwid
I have heard through the Old Rotors that Alek Tarwid has died at the age of 95.
From what I gathered when I knew him in the 70s his father was the Controller of Polish Railways when the Germans invaded. Alek was a cavalry officer who got fed up with charging tanks and travelled to the UK and joined the RAF.
Spitfires during the war and helicopters at the end.
His funeral is to be held at Basingstoke Crematorium on Wednesday 16 August at 1400 hours
