I never met Pete Brothers, I had the opportunity several times, at a Duxford book signing, but Genuinely was in awe of the man (and all of the other veterans), and couldn’t think of anything to say, (the couple of minutes that you get to “chat”) do I wish I’d said hello, well yes, but I still don’t know what else I could have said.

Apart from his achievements nearly seventy years ago, he has given me inspiration, that you don’t have to grow old gracefully, but you can keep that fighting spirit for ever, God bless.

I am in total agreement Stuart! In most cases I never quite knew what to say when meeting one of these illustrious gentlemen.
The world is poorer for Peter Brothers parting, may he rest in peace and may I extend my sympathies to his family!
