Peter Pritchard: general practitioner with “legendary” improvisation skills
Social conscience Peter had been born into an affluent family but his father's early death, combined with the effects of the Wall Street crash, meant that his mother had to bring up her young family in more straitened circumstances. In 1971, with colleagues, he ran the first training course for practice nurses, and in 1972 he helped to start the first patient participation group in the UK. In 1996, he helped to raise the money to buy the Hurst water meadow close to his home in Dorchester, and he served as the honorary secretary of the charitable trust until 2010, by which time he was 92.

What was the Hindenburg?
At 800-feet long, the Hindenburg was the largest airship ever built--just slightly smaller than the Titanic. Also of a disastrous end, the zeppelin burst into flame as spectators watched it attempt to land in Lakehurst, New Jersey, on May 6, 1937. In under a minute, the Hindenburg was gone, people jumping from windows to escape. However, only 62 of the 97 crew members and passengers onboard survived. The exact cause of the disaster is still unknown and remains a historical mystery.
