What I have already is:
Hall switch : 2 x 2 core. 1st Cable - black to 2-way terminal top, and red
to Com top. 2nd Cable - black to 2-way terminal bottom and red to 1-way
terminal bottom. And a link wire from Com top to Com bottom.
Landing light ; 2 x 2 core. One core of each cable not used (snapped off)
1st Cable - red to 1-way terminal bottom, 2nd Cable - black to top Com.

The top switch isn't wired as a two way - you need three wires for this.

What you do have is strange - it's not normal to have any wires lopped of
anywhere.

I've included the standard diagram for two way (or more) switching.

From what he says it should be wired like this, but for some reason on
of the strappers, (links between L1 and L1 and L2 and L2), has been
cut off.
