What was the occupation of Peter Townsend, Princess Margaret's illicit love interest in season 1?

By far the most dashing member of the royal household, Group Captain Peter Townsend was also a favorite of King George (partially due to Townsend's knack for coming up with naughty limericks to relax the King before appearances). Unfortunately, he was also freshly divorced with two children... and the palace (with hands tied by the Church of England) said nope to a devastated Princess.
