Nick, As Peter responded, please allow me, remaining civil, to add details…

Peter and I agreed to a trade - fact.

He received the Spitfire plate, but I never received the Bf109 plates that he offered in exchange, which he was fully aware of - fact.

He associated the Spitfire plate specifically with RK858 after it was in his hands, in spite of having a clear photo of it before I mailed it to him - fact.

After I spent two months of waiting and exhausting inquires with the US and UK Post Offices, when I asked that he return the Spitfire plate or replace the 109 plates, he told me, in effect, tough luck, that's the way it goes - fact.

Indicative of his self-serving rational, and I quote: "We all know the risks of international posting". Read more in the attached message.

Following my Nov 2012 message, also attached, he broke off all e-mail contact with me - fact.

And some three years later, he still has the Spitfire plate (with such noble intentions, he has not given it to the owner of the remains of RK858 after all this time, let alone return it to me); he has not attempted any form of resolution, whatsoever; and, after reading his latest flawed rationalization, he still shows no remorse or shame.

Peter, I made my own judgement about your behavior, and character, in 2012, but I'll stop here!

Steve
