b. 28 Oct 1899 in Yorkshire, a "Director of Limited Companies" Air Commodore (later Sir) Harald Peake, post-WWII Director of RAF public relations and later chairman of Lloyds Bank and the Steel Company of Wales. Harald only got his aviator's certificate on the 28th April 1930 (after returning from this tour), so that, perhaps, explains why he took along RLR Atcherley, probably one of the most famous and experienced aviators of the time, to help him fly his new plane! His wife, Felicity, was the founding director of the Women's Royal Air Force. d. 1978 |
