He was promoted a midshipman on 1 May 1931 and to Assistant Sub Lieutenant on 1 September 1933, then Sub Lieutenant on 1 January 1934. He served as 1st Lieutenant on HMS Doon, a fishery protection gunboat trawler. He attended a promotion course on HMS Victory in Portsmouth on 9 April 1934, rising to a Lieutenant on 1 August 1935. He was a pilot in S/R Squadron 822 FAA on HMS Furious, an aircraft carrier in the Reserve Fleet attached to the RAF.3 Peter had been in the Fleet Air Arm for five years and had already established himself as a pilot of courage, judgement and initiative when war broke out. After serving three years on the China Station in HMS Eagle he was appointed in April 1940 a pilot on HMS Warspite a battleship. It was while carrying out reconnaissance work for that famous ship in the Mediterranean off Tobruk that his plane was shot down and after many hours in a rubber dinghy, he and his observer were taken prisoner by the Italians. Medd 7895358 was on the reported missing list was last seen on 12 June 1940.

Peter was taken to an old monastery near Sulmona. As well as constantly planning to escape, which he sporadically succeeded in doing only to suffer the inevitable consequence after recapture of solitary confinement he quickly taught himself the language of the country, an asset which was to stand him in such stead during his escape. His family had it confirmed that he was a Prisoner of War no 16129 and placed in Stalag camp no 344 in Lamsdorf in Germany. He was moved many times between camps and on the moonlit night of 13 September 1943 while being transferred by train he saw his chance and jumped for it.

During this time he started to develop from brief notes the story of his escape from the POW camp. He had only completed half of the book when he was declared fit enough to fly again. The book 'The Long Walk Home: an escape through Italy' was published postumously with the help of his good friend Major Frank Simms in 1951. Frank had escaped just before Peter and met up with him on Day seven of their escape. They travelled together for the rest of their forty eight day trek.3 Peter was killed when his Hawker Sea Hurricane Mk XIIA (BW855) flew through the mist crashed into a Northumberland hillside flying from Sealand to RNAS in East Haven on 19 August 1944
