I totally agree with you.
I had the honour to serve under him as a Wessex pilot in 18 Squadron for 2 years from ‘68 - Odiham, Acklington & Gutersloh. I left the RAF & 18Sqn, Feb’72.
Peter Harding, was the finest Leader of Men, that I have ever encountered, in my very varied careers. The loss to Britain of this brilliant military mind and the very best of the best Leader of men, is huge. The small minded, outdated and nondescript idiots that let him go, have not found a replacement of his calibre since. My sentiments I know, are shared by most of my fellow officers of the time. RIP, my Captain my Captain.
Our thoughts are with you Shiela & family.
