I have some very fond memories of Pete as my Boss on Tremblers, including his monumental temper!
My day 1 on the Sqn he did a little off-roading in an F3 due to a NWS failure. After he landed I attempted to introduce myself, a kindly Flt Cdr grabbed my by the collar and said "Not now Sonny, if the vein is throbbing...steer well clear!"
Several months later we (6 of us) had the most monumental hats-on bollocking in his office. To this day, I have no-idea what it was for, what we'd done wrong...or what he said. On the way out his office I was recalled and told that my hat was an "Utter disgrace", I didn't have the balls to remind him that he had sold me the very same hat just 3 days before.
I also remember that he protected me from myself on more than one occasion.
Sad loss.
