Peter Brett RIP
A couple of years ago, I posted a series of Peter's wartime Hawker Typhoon flying exploits on this thread.
Sadly, Peter passed away peacefully yesterday morning after a short illness. He would have been 90 in June, and we were all looking forward to celebrating his birthday, but it was not to be.
Last summer, while staying with Peter's daughter, Mrs TOW compiled a set of amateur video clips of Peter talking about some of his adventures.
If you do a Google search for "Peter Brett Typhoon" you will find them on Youtube. You can't miss him, he's the one with the shock of white hair and matching beard!
Peter had overcome the perils of Atlantic convoys, airborne combat, tuberculosis, a fall from a roof in which he damaged his back and even beat cancer ten years ago, but old age finally got to him.
RIP Peter, you will be missed.
