Peter was a Qantas Cadet and went to PNG in the 1960s to build hours and experience. He first worked briefly as a volunteer pilot for the Franciscans at Aitape before joining Talair mid to late 1960s. As I recall he convinced Dennis to start TALCO Tours as an in bound tour operator in the days when PNG tourism from Europe and USA was big business. Mid 1970s, tourism declined and Peter acquired TALCO Tours and formed Melanesian Tours in Madang.
