I just heard the sad news that Pete Collins died in August.
Pete served on 3 Sqn and IV Sqn at Gutersloh on the Harrier GR3 in the 80’s and had many friends on IV. Condolences to Gudrun and the family.
These are the details for COL’s funeral:

Pete was on IV(AC) with me, mid-80’s under Tony McKeon. A bloody good pilot and friend. What happened? Saw him last year and he was fit & well. And punchy with it, as always. RIP COL.
Thanks for that Jim – I’d forgotten that Pete was on IV after I left.
