Weheka, you are probably correct, I know 30 raids normally was the finish of that tour, very few made it of course, but somehow Peter kept going and it beggers belief that he survived. I think only 10 or so Lanc pilots did out of a amazing nbr who attended flying school in Canada. He did not talk about it to much, to painful, and being only 22 years old, and a country lad at that he dealt with it in his own way (no councillers then) and tried not to look back. Hard to imagine having somebody trying to kill you every time you took to the air.
