Many years ago I worked for an OC Admin called Peter Moon. Later met him in Hampshire after we had both left the RAF. Story I heard was that he joined the RAF as a 16 year old with no qualifications, went to Sunderlands, maybe as a gunner, and made a name for himself during a gale as watch on board and saving the aircraft, and himself, from a watery grave. Ended up commissioned and ultimately a gp capt responsible for all non commissioned careers (other than aircrew). Sadly he died a while back, but one of those people who "made an impression". Anyone know anymore about his career, and especially the gale incident, I think at Pembroke Dock
