I was also on IOT with Tommo and the course behind at Valley. Completely echo the sentiments of others here, a charming fella and general all-round nice bloke.
It was tragically I think the first taste the "studes" had of losing a colleague and friend. Thankfully rare in flying training but sadly not-so in the years to come.
It was certainly the first occasion of drinking on an "open" bar-book and toasting Tommo that evening.
I even remember a "no-jeopardy" non syllabus trip the next morning just to get those who wanted to, back in the air.
Will gladly PM with details as I remember them.
