The funeral took place yesterday in All Saints Church in Shenley Road of Peter Stokes who was a great friend of both the Church and the Museum.  An engineer by trade he wrote several pamphlets about local history for the Museum including the story of Shenley Aerodrome.  His knowledge of the local area, its history and people was immense and he will be sorely missed.  And not just in Borehamwood – his passion for engines and planes meant he was active at the Hendon RAF Museum, The London Museum of Water & Steam, and other car museums in England. And he always had time for everyone for a chat, and made you feel he’d known you all his life.
