Peter Wilson RIP

I must sadly report the death of Peter Wilson, Test pilot for Bristol Helicopters and subsequently Westland.
As an Army officer, Peter was attached to the Airborne Forces Experimental Establishment (AFEE) at Beaulieu, and flew the early Sikorsky machines when they first arrived in Britain.
Peter of all people can be described as ‘A gentleman Test Pilot’, always professional and we always felt safe with him.
Another link with british rotorcraft history passes.
