The last surviving pilot of the 1943 Dambusters raid is handing his military medals over to an Auckland museum.

Veteran squadron leader Les Munro is today ensuring his gallantry medals will be preserved for future generations of New Zealanders.

The 96-year-old is about to hand them into the care of MOTAT - the Museum of Transport and Technology.

His medals, flight log books and other memorabilia will become part of an exhibition dedicated to the New Zealand members of Bomber Command, and their service during the Second World War.
