In this wide-ranging interview, de Havilland test pilot Peter Bugge takes us through his pre-World War II career in the Royal Norwegian Air Force, before escaping from Norway and Sweden to join the RAF and taking up night-fighting duty in North Africa. After the War, Bugge re-joined Gp Capt John Cunningham at de Havilland test flying the Comet & Trident, together with the Vampires and Venoms for overseas clients.

The interview took place in 1993 and was conducted by Rodney Giesler and edited by Mike Stanberry FRAeS.
