Sir Peter Squire
With trepidation I phoned OC 1(F) Sqn Sir Peter and told him what he must do (It was his first week in post by the way) and he replied "You're the Boss--I will send them over immediately!" I have never forgotton that evening, the Station passed its Taceval with flying colours and afterwards Alan Bridges, Pete Squire and Peter Miller invited me personally and we retired to the O Mess bar for a celebratory half. What a night and what a true gentleman Sir Peter was.
I last saw him a few years ago at Colerne wearing Flt Lt rank and he reminded of me of the night in 1982 "The first and only time in my career apart from here at Colerne, that a Flt Lt has told me what to do". A lovely man whose death has shocked me.
If anyone knows when his memorial service is could you post it here please?
