Still around as far as I know, not heard anything to the contrary...
Good to hear! I picked up a copy of his biography just last summer and really enjoyed the read. It's this one: https://amzn.to/3OehOXc
Edited to add: here he is running up his Avenger in 1994. He wandered into the local ops room that morning patting his pockets and exclaiming "Nobody move! Where are my specs...." I guess he found them 😉

Tony H-T is alive but a little unwell with the usual complaints of `older age`,but not limited to complain to his BiL,a retired Admiral about the RN antics between HMS Chiddy-Chiddy-Bangor...!
