I note that there is little content relating to Thom's work in Fluid Mechanics at Glasgow, or later at Oxford. His wartime service at the Royal Aircraft Establishment Farnborough, where he worked in the high speed wind tunnel is also missing. There was a relatively recent lecture given to the Institution of Mechanical Engineers on his life and works. This might serve as a useful basis for extending the stub.--Stephen McParlin 16:07, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
