Many years ago (60s) my OC Admin was a guy called Peter Moon. Years later when I was sec of large yacht club on the south coast he called in to see me. I was ver touched by this kind thought. Sadly he died not long after and I went to his funeral - there his story was told - left school young with no qualifications. Left a dead end job to join the wartime RAF and ended up on Sunderlands, I think at PD. One night in a gale he was the duty guy on a moored aircraft as a gale raged. Whatever he did he was reckoned to have saved the aircraft. Was later commissioned and ended up a gp capt. Amazing career, and someone from whom I learned a lot.
