I'm proud to number Pete as one of my best friends. I bought his Fan Jets Hawk following Dicks magazine review in the early eighties. I had one of his big Mig 15s. I also had his lightning and flew his supermarine 510 for a while. I currently fly one of his TF9J 2 seat cougars. I spoke with him regularly and a couple of days before he passed on. Pete was also interested in vintage diesel powered models and I gave him a Bowden cabin model years ago that was an original tissue covered model and I know he got a kick out of the old stuff. He was a source of endless information and a constant inspiration. You have left a big hole Pete. Ron.
