Tony was my troop sergeant when I was a training NCO at Cove. As recalled above he was a real character. I am sure that many will remember his his word of command "shoon!" when on parade.
There are so many stories from 20 Sqn but what a character will be sadly missed
Very sad to see the passing of TC. I was a Spr in his section in 20 Fd Sqn during Ex Polex 1972. Still remember TC bashing out American Pie on his Guitar whilst we all sang at the top of our very poor voices. Great guy.
A real Corps character was Tony.He lighted up the atmosphere at the 57 Training Sqn with his effervescent personality. A privelege to have served with him for that short period. Terry Reeves writes [22nd September 2010]:
I met Tony a few years later when he was the landlord of a pub near Maidstone. He was immaculate behind the bar in pinstripe trousers and grey jacket.
Happy memories
