I’m the son of Edward Peterson who was the co-pilot on the Ensign Mary. My father never spoke about his war experiences, so sad to loose that history. My older brother and I hope to travel to St Pierre Point once the covid virus diminishes. Also will go to the airfield, their home base in England. When does the village celebrate to crash of the Ensign Mary?
