Brokenlink, as far as I know he's still around, he'd be mid-80s now. He pranged the Procter at a strip in Kent a few years ago, sustaining quite serious injuries in the process - I'd guess he ate a panel sandwich - but was apparently going to get on with rebuilding it.
He was always around whenever I visited Biggin, never offered me a ride though :-( !
Pretty certain he was sitting at the next table to us in the Dog and Bell at Deptford about 15 years ago; certainly looked like him.
