PO Simon Tompkins,RAF Valley 1989
This young man(26) was killed in a flying training accident on 14th June1989 in Wales.
I was his godfather, knew all his family very well, moved to Canada after his birth and lost touch with his family. In 1995 I heard he was killed in a mid air collision in a training flight in Scotland. It was not until a few years ago I heard the correct story of the accident in Wales. This summer I visited his gravesite in Yorkshire, he is buried next to his mother.
Is there anyone around who might have more information about Simon and his brief career in the RAF and also the accident.
His father was Richard Tompkins the owner of the Green Shield Stamp company
