RIP indeed. He had a fair bit to do with the Berkshire Museum of Aviation at Woodley but I never got an opportunity to speak to him while I was a member there. :(

An amazing man; the more I read about him, the greater grows my awe!! A truly great man, and a pioneer in the real sense of the word. I feel the need to drink to his memory. :cheers:

That's very sad, oh to have been a pilot in those years, with British aviation at it's peak!

First man to fly at over 1000 mph - now there's an epitaph ! Rest in peace Peter, a life well lived.
