Tomo Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 How very sad... I've seen his videos at Temora, and he certainly was a good pilot...he had a nice aircraft to... Does anyone know the particulars of what happened? The news article mentioned that it happened about half way down the airstrip, was he taking off or just doing some low level aerobatics? I'd be interested in knowing what caused it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I saw Tom's displays many times and spoke with him a few times. Another great Australian aviator lost. A very sad day indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yenn Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 It is a big loss for aviation but especially for me. I am doing the big trip down to Victoria and visiting relatives and friends on the way there and back. It was all centred around going to Temora Flying day in March. Now it is cancelled. Ah well, another year maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
