"The Polish Air Force in Britain, 1940-1947" Colour party bearing the Polish Air Force standard marches past ranks of saluting airmen after the presentation ceremony at Swinderby, Lincolnshire. The standard was made by women and their families in Wilno (Vilnius), Poland, then occupied by the Red Army, and was smuggled to Sweden by Japanese diplomats, from where it eventually reached the United Kingdom in March 1941. Motto on the standard reads - "Miłość żąda ofiary - Love Demands Sacrifice".
