WO Peter Hale (41 Sqn, Aug 1944-Aug 1945) will celebrates his 95th Birthday today, 28 July 2017.
 
Thanks to Mark Hillier, Peter was able to take a back-seat in the Boultbee Spitfire from Goodwood Aerodrome (formerly RAF Westhampnett) on the 14th July, to help celebrate his pending 95th birthday. Jez Attridge (Former Officer Commanding RAF Coningsby) was at the helm and Peter had a ball, as the attached photos show.

Congratulations, Peter, and many happy returns! As you were my late father Aharon's contemporary in 41 Squadron I'm sure he would have joined me in warmest birthday wishes. In his journal that I translated for this site he usually gives only the initials of his mates but very likely one of the P's is you. He remembered you all so fondly!

All the best, Gideon in Jerusalem
