Army Air Corps Honour Roll

From the Regt Sec:

I regret to inform the wider Army Aviation family that Major Pete Douglass passed away peacefully at home over the weekend 12/13 Oct 13 after a long and brave fight against cancer. He was supported by his wife, Jane throughout. Pete will be known to many as a respected pilot and QHI who was one of the early Apache pioneers. He was also an accomplished and well known golfer. Funeral details will be informed in due course. Providing Pete’s family are happy, I will post the funeral details once I have them.

From Gary Hickson

I have just learnt via a third party that Pete Douglass has left us. RiP friend.

John Jarman I am not sure if you are aware but Peter had been very ill for a number of years suffering from both lung and liver cancers compounded with a damaged heart from an undiagnosed heart attack. A condition he had been stoically dealing with.
