Great stuff Chevvron!
I am building a website which, among other things, will record Peter Cadbury's aviation antics. Regarding his helicopters, these have been discussed on the 'Nostalgia' thread over on Rotorheads and one of the aircraft below is likely to have been the one you flew in:
Bell 206B G-BBUX at Blackbushe on 11th July 1976
B206B G-CHOC at Blackbushe c.1978
AS 350B G-JANY at Cranfield on 5th September 1981
Peter Cadbury (aka Peter the Cad) owned these aircraft according to the following dates:
G-BBUX from December '75 to September '77
G-CHOC from September '77 to November '80
G-JANY from October '79 to November '81
As can be seen from the images, all of Peter's craft carried the golden Pegasus motif - does anyone know if these were also painted on his fixed-wing aircraft?
There is a story about PTC and a Prelate (evidently the father of an 'acquaintance' of his) who turned-up at PTC's home in Preston Candover to enquire about Peter's intentions towards his daughter (especially given that PTC was already married). Evidently the Cad took the Bishop for a spin - scaring him half to death and dropping him off near his car with the promise to do worse should he ever return! What a character.

Anyone with stories, photos or other material relating to Peter Cadbury and his flying days .. please PM me.
