Another one joins those who went before.

That's very sad news indeed. He always seemed such an unassuming and modest man, as the majority of them were of course.

We will remember them.
 
I'm thankful for the men in the UK like Peter Brothers that fought for the freedom that we have today.
Also, the USA men who fought for the USA Constitution and The Bill of Rights that we still have today. There where some that where in power that tried to take that freedom away.
Even now there are some in power that have ignored the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to do what thy wanted in the name of freedom and protection of the people.
The new White House Administration in DC have released some documents showing that this was happening in the USA after 9-11. Something to keep an eye-on in the next few weeks.
We all want the terrorist stopped, but we also want it to be done legally-- from wire taps to search and seizure ,video tape's that where made and then said where never taken and then later distorted.
Apparently all the CIA and FBI had to do was say someone was a suspected terrorist.How convenient is that! Sound's like what the Gestapo and SS where doing in the 30's and 40's.But thy were only doing what Hitler told them to do. Wake up America!
:focus:
Thank you all for putting your life on the line to protect our freedom. The fight go's on.

I remember him as one of the 'old boys' in the Channel 4 series "Fighter Pilot" a few years ago. He struck me as someone with a very mischievous sense of humour and I was pleased to see him taken for a flight in the Grace Spitfire in the last programme. The programme makers very decently didn't shove a camera and mike in his face after the flight.

As Geoffrey Wellum said in the same programme, there are a lot of ghosts in those cockpits. I certainly can't think of the Spitfire Mk.XIV without him - he commanded the Tangmere and Exeter Wings.

Thank you Peter; thanks to your efforts (with so many others) I have not had to go to war and my children are growing up in a country still at peace.
 
Peter Brothers has died. His name will be known to many of us.

R.I.P.

Hi Guys,

Well Known indeed, a great loss, yet one step closer to only being able to read about these monumentous moments in history, rather than hearing it from the people who lived it.

R.I.P

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

Lest we Forget...

regards Rob.
