My 1st flight with Whitto was in Aug 85 on a Tapestry in Area 2 when he was co-pilot to the then Flt Lt Charlebois(RCAF) This was the start of a long and very enjoyable friendship. We became neighbours briefly in Muirton place and I then had to wait until 1993 till we teamed up again together on the GSU.
Pete had a very quick wit and repartee which could have easily inspired "Flashman" of Black Adder fame; he had a story or joke for every ocassion, personality or individual, which created fun and laughter without offence
"Hairyeng flew with Whitto and lived"
A lot of us were fortunate to fly, live and serve with Whitto and enjoy a great time and experience
A tragic loss - Linda and family - thank you for supporting this lovely man in his brief time with us
