    Death of the last Dambuster pilot: Les Munro, one of the final surviving members of 617 Squadron that carried out daring 'bouncing bomb' raids on the Nazis, dies aged 96

    • Airman flew Lancaster bomber on raid on dams using bouncing bombs
    • It was hit by Nazi fire over Holland, but he flew his crew home to safety
    • This year, Munro donated his wartime medals in honour of fallen comrades
    • The Squadron Leader was a grandfather, councillor, mayor and magistrate
    • Friend Ron Mayhill, who said his life was 'all about service', said he died this morning in hospital in Tauranga in the Bay of Plenty
