I had the enormous pleasure to play golf with Peter at St Andrews a number of years ago (late 80's). His partner was a wing commander and it took the two of them four holes to work out they met once previously when Peter was based in Washington in the early 60's; the WC was active and a member of a transfer group on the Phantom program. Great chat ensued.
We had very enjoyable match and the conviviality lingered into the evening until the gentlemen retired home and my team returned to Edinburgh.
I have often reminisced of the day and can only echo what has been written of the man.
