BosunAl Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I'm so sorry to hear of Tomo's death. I followed this blog with great interest and am amazed at his ability to get things done. He and his comments will be sorely missed. Bosun Al aka Al Fisher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This leaves us with a dilemma, we would love to continue with the restoration, but unfortunately none of us have the time, knowledge or dedication that Tomo displayed to achieve the fantastic results so far. Our best option would be to find a buyer, who would be able to take over, and once complete, would hopefully use the vehicle in WW1 display and re-enactment as Tomo had planned to do. That’s really sad to hear and I’m very sorry for your loss. He’s left a fantastic legacy for someone to take forward and finish and I hope your family can one day see it on the circuit and feel justifiably proud.

IAN_B Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I have only just returned to this blog to learn of Tomo's passing. I am deeply saddened. My sincere condolences to all his family. As some may know, I contributed the foundation of the project from over here, though it was mainly the engine that he had brought to a near running state. I have missed his humour and turn of phrase that were a feature of his commentary. I do hope someone can take over the project and see it to completion.
