Bob,
Sorry about yet another message like this.
We have just walked in the door with Jan having driven 600 Kms. today to receive a phone message from Peter’s family.
I spoke to his wife Judy and daughter Julianne

He was a Direct Entry who was the Chief Chippy in Albatross in 1967/68 when I was there and I then followed him onto the Sydney in 1970/71.

Will follow up with info about Ron Maughan after we unpack.
Cheers
Buttza
John Buttle

I never served with 'Peter', but it's always sad to lose another Chippy... Rest on your oars, Peter, your journey's done... R.I.P.
