Three Polish aircrews that were killed fighting for the Allies during World War Two were remembered today with a commemorative service.

The crew, who were fighting for the Allies, were returning to their UK base at RAF Swinderby following a successful bombing raid when their 'Fairey Battle' aircraft came down in Calverton on October 13 1940.
