Former RAF pilot reveals what it's like to be shot down in enemy territory

Former RAF pilot John Peters who was captured during the Gulf War in 1991 after his plane was shot down says it is 'a game of cat and mouse' as the Iranians hunt for the missing US airman after downing a US jet. Speaking about his own ordeal in detail as the US bid to find their airman before Iran do, Mr Peters, who was held alongside fellow airman John Nichol for seven weeks during the first Gulf War during which time both men were tortured and paraded on Iraqi television, said 'the transition was shocking' when they were forced to eject from their plane 'and a position of power in the air'.
