It's my understanding that the grave of Tom Phillis lies in the Douglas Borough Cemetery on the Glencrutchery Road and right next to the start/finish line of the TT course. Can you please confirm that?

I telephoned the cemetery/crematorium and was told that there was no burial and that his ashes were scattered in the Garden of Remembrance. At about TT time, numerous riders call in there and ask the same thing. It possible that a memorial plaque was placed there though.

Manxman, after scanning and naming your pics, find a free picture hosting site and upload from your desktop or equivalent onto that site. Once they're there, simply copy the code for forums/hotlinks or whatever options are available, come back here and post it where you want.
