When we used to do the Royal Tournament at Earls Court every three years, we used to always go into the pub round the corner because Tommy and his wife used to come in regularly. He absolutely loved the band and he used to have us musicians in stitches. He was a naturally funny bloke. RIP Tommy and thanks for making the Royal Tournament more bearable for a number of RAF musicians over many years.
