TTH,
This one's Sunday name was: Ernest Robert Taylor and he was flying XR477 on 30 Oct 69, when he flew through some overhead cables in the New Territories. I think the one to whom you refer is a genuine Thomas.
IIRC, the man you're thinking of went 'rotary' in about 1965/6 but was also in the Far East. He didn't have a 'tash but Phil Bleasdale did!!
O-D
