Peter Korsman

Captain Peter Korsman passed away at 1000 this morning, 8 Sept. Known to so many of you, and in command of the above aircraft, many times, Peter was a Lancaster bomber pilot who made it home, despite being injured on more then one occasion. He then went on to become one of TAA's finest. A keen fisherman, Peter was known for turning up at Flt Ops with a bag full of fish, and some hapless crew would have to fly around with their fish all day, counting on the goodwill of the flight attendants to keep them cold. Funeral on the 17 Sept, probably in BNE. Will post details when they come to hand. RIP Peter, it was a pleasure to fly with you.
