If you contact St. George's they should be able to tell you if he is buried there.

Always good to double check!   :)

The S&DFHS transcription is a bit vague.

I see that Peter Robin Tomes went to The Thomas Hardye school at Dorchester.....I wonder if there are any school photographs with him on, I have found one from 1958, of a school cricket team, but he is not on it.....anyone have any ideas ?.......Del.

Possibly this school:

http://www.thomas-hardye.dorset.sch.uk/

Might be worth contacting them; a bit of a long shot but an account of his death/funeral might have appeared in a school magazine.

Thank you , I have recently discovered that the 'plane that crashed, killing Peter Tomes, was a Percival Provost T1.....I always thought it was a jet powered 'plane, but that particular model was propeller driven.......Del
