Ludwik Martel- The Few become fewer once more

I’m sorry to be passing on the news that Battle of Britain veteran Ludwik Martel has sadly passed away. Although he died late last month, I’ve only just read of his passing and I hope nobody will mind my giving him a greater mention as his passing seems to have been largely missed by the national press. A short obituary can be found on the Daily Telegraph link below:

His passing leaves just one surviving Polish member of ‘The Few’.

Another former BM597 pilot to go forth. I met and chatted with him on several occasions at Old Hay, Chailey and Flying Legends, he was always willing to talk, a charming man and will be sorely missed.
