Tommy was a top bloke - he had a great sense of humour.Not sure what happened to him in the end - he flew with me at least once whilst he was grounded but I cannot remember how long he was grounded for.
I didn't realise he had an MGA,to be fair I do not recall any of the instructors cars except for Jacko's Peugeot with the 613 plate,often parked in the layby up on the top road to spy on us
