I guess the lady was your grandpa's friend from the childhood that he apparently met in Polish internee camp in Winthertur in Switzerland.

Hello Nightcrawler .. and welcome !
I would suggest a letter to the Sikorski Institute might be the way forward ...
You can find details in the thread "Researching a Polish Combatant" at the top of the index.
Researching a Polish Exile Combatant.

Hello
Franciszek Longawa was definitly not a member of 305 squadron. Firstly they never flew lancasters or Liberators, only 301 sqd (special ops) flew Liberators and Longawa is not on their list, he does not figure on the 305 list also.
From the photos you have showed in one hes wearing a uniform of the 2 Dywizja strzelcow pieszych in the other british infantry battle dress.
Most probably he was a soldier in the 2DSP and was interned in Switzerland. Also the Polish Armed Force cross in the West does not have the air ops bar which suggests he was a infantry soldier.
