Was on the same course at Linton as Tommo, have several photos and the graduation and prize giving official photos. Later we all met up regularly at Shawbury for weekends, tommo coming down from Valley with other ex course members.
As has been said a very popular individual and good friend. A few people were especially effected by the accident and it brought home the nature and danger of flying to all of us. I am sure it made us better and safer aviators having being aware of the fragility of life so early in our careers.
I believe I may have ...... "liberated" his coffee mug from valley and still have it!
