Just heard fro Jeeves in PNG that Captain Peter Wycherley passed away at the Cairns hospital this morning.

PNG Legend

You could always tell if Wycho was busy. As you crossed the threshold of his office he would give you a hint by telling you to “f@ck off”.

PNG Legend, one of the last. RIP Wycho.

Well Said KL,
ycho was an unforgettable character, a man of legends and will be remembered fondly by all of us Old Territorians and those from Bushie days of yore !
I did many a flight with Peter even on the PX B707 and he could always be relied on as a loyal and competent crew member.
Many years later (some 40 plus years) we hooked up again this time in Airlines PNG where he held Line Operations Manager appointment. The same sentiments continued.
RIP Captain Wycho - one of the last Aviation Legends of PNG and North Queensland.
We all are going to miss you Wantok.

Peter interviewed me for my very first job as a co-pilot on the Twotter.
Didn't say much during the interview but was always ready to help out when I got to POM.

RIP Wycho.
