Sean was studying for a Masters Degree in Aerospace Engineering at Swansea University - a.k.a. University Of Wales (Swansea) - and was coming to the end of his 3rd year.

Sean was diagnosed with epilepsy just before his 18th birthday. Although that put an end to his aspirations to join the RAF, he dreamt of designing aircraft which future RAF pilots would fly, and that became the driving force behind his decision to study aerospace engineering at Swansea University.

On 17th July 2008, Sean was posthumously awarded a BEng in Aerospace Engineering, which I was proud to receive on his behalf.
