Gents,
Looking for details on Air Commodore Thomson.
Air Commodore Thomson was killed on August 8th 1939 while viewing the bombing up of a Vickers Wellington of No.115 (B) Squadron. While under the fuselage, he slipped and was struck on the head by the rotating airscrew.
Any information on his career most welcome.

Thank you once again.
