re: Peter Jones

Greetings Lossiemouth, Yes I can help you with him! 16 years in RAF from 1963, Canberras & Buccaneers including Bucc conversion at Lossiemouth with 736RNAS. Reaquainted with Mike Cairns doing ATPL licences mid 79, joined Anvil Aviation October 1979 (Bob Thompson loved the irony of the company name - few twigged)!
Worked up with Mike Cairns, Andy Legge (2), and Bob Ruskell with plan to take over from Marcus Edwards' team when their contracts expired.
Flew out to Khartoum Mar 80 for display season Sudan, Egypt, Cyprus and Greece. 80's recession hit and the decision to fold both teams was made while we were in Greece in July. Pretty much wrapped up end August.
Migrated Australia following year.
I've just found this thread, will be interesting to look back and see what happened!
