Nige321 thanks very much , I hadn't heard about Wayback Machine which I see is an internet archive site. Still no hard news about Tony, but I fear the worst. He would have been 82 - 83 I think, so already past his allotted span I guess.
I sometimes used to post links to his website on here, and also on the V Force page on Facebook. On occasion it would be when people were disputing whether the Victor ever went supersonic, as he had a great story about accidentally nudging Mach One directly over Paris. On these occasions he always emailed me thanking me for the sudden surge in visits to his site by people using my link. Very nice chap - and a very clever one. He also congratulated me on of my description of the Victor as a "supremely elegant work of art" in a letter to The Times and as much a worthy recipient of arts council subsidy for its restoration as "yet another mouldy old oil painting".
