"Peter Roger"
Peter Roger
The story as told to me by the Pilot, now aged 87.
"The Harvard in which I flew most was KF665 Its identity was ‘Peter Roger’ with the usual letters either side of the fuselage roundel.
On the 17th September 1954, I was flying Peter Roger when the engine blew up on me and I had no option other than to force land it on Magdalen Fen near Downham Market. The aircraft was basically undamaged apart from a twisted prop and U/S engine - a cylinder head had failed and split open. But Harvard were being phased out and poor old PR was taken away and reduced to scrap..
A long lost tale from youth - I was 20 at the time.”
