De Havilland Mosquito
Simon and Peggy met during the Second World War. Peggy had started a degree in modern languages at Bangor University in Wales but decided to join the Women's Auxiliary Air Force with her close friend known as Bim. The two young women both became plotters, plotting aeroplane positions. Simon flew De Havilland Mosquito aerial photo-reconnaissance planes for the RAF. He had many narrow escapes, including a chase through the Brenner Pass in Austria/Italy.
