Bangladesh Air Force
Tawab left the PAF in the summer of 1971 and went to Bangkok, Thailand, from where he tried to join forces with General M A G Osmani at 8 Theatre Rd., Calcutta, India. He was barred by Indian authorities under the influence of A.K. Khandker to participate in the glorious war of independence in 1971. Furthermore he was well known as a Pakistan Air Force fighter ace, as he was awarded the prestigious gallantry award of Sitara-i-Jurat for his extreme bravery in the 1965 Indo-Pak war. With his excellent record as a highly qualified fighter pilot, he with a little effort got a job as a test pilot with a German aircraft manufacturing company and as instructor pilot with a flying school there. He was a dare-devil and liked challenges wherever he found them. After retirement Tawab returned to Munich Germany and started indenting business of sorts. He had lived in Munich since with his wife and three children till his death.

“I remember when I was first assigned to jets. I said to the colonel, “Colonel, I joined this man’s air force to fly an airplane. But nobody’s gonna hitch me to no Roman candle.””
—Kurt Neumann (1906–1958)
“The air deals blows: surely too hard, too often?
No: it is bent on bringing summer down.
Dead leaves desert in thousands, outwards, upwards,
Numerous as birds; but the birds fly away....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Man always made, and still makes, grotesque blunders in selecting and measuring forces, taken at random from the heap, but he never made a mistake in the value he set on the whole, which he symbolized as unity and worshipped as God. To this day, his attitude towards it has never changed, though science can no longer give to force a name.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
