I don't really want to post on this thread as the whole subject is really really sad. I did not know Peter all that well having met him first at the start of his career up in Northumbria. He was a cheeky monkey then, full of life and a little ray of sunshine wherever he went. Much later I did some work for him as he set up Helivision. Always straight and a delight to talk to no matter what the pressure.
It's a damn shame that prune threads like this invariably end up in a ****ty bun fight between those who know, those who think they know and the rest of us. I guess that is what the prune is all about.
Reading how well thought of Peter was by his peers maybe we should just ease springs and let him rest until the AAIB finish their sad work.
