Pontius Navigator
 

Has anyone on here have info about Pontious Navigator. He has been a prolific poster but seems to have been silent for many months. He would be 80+ so maybe he could be navigating in the heavens.

I hope not :(

Apologies for possibly hi jacking things a little, but so was Smujsmith........he's gone quiet too????

Funnily enough I was thinking the same recently. (PN)

According his profile he will be 81 on April 25th.

Also I can't remember seeing any posts from the slightly younger TTN since he thanked those who had expressed concern during his absence due to caring for his wife and said he hoped to be back on frequency more often.

Unfortunately I fear the worst. I can’t remember his wife’s name, but I saw a funeral notice last October for Gillian aged 82 wife of the late Roy in Lincoln.

Rubic I believe his wife was/is called Helen. Met her a couple of times at crew parties in the 70's.

Yep I was thinking about PN,TTN and Smuj just the other day - keeping fingers crossed they are ok.

Yes, you are correct, I remember now. We must have been on the same squadron?

I was with Roy on 201 and 8 Sqns.

We should all leave a note for someone just in case of our demise, to please post on here to inform people who might wish to morn / attend.

Added to my checklist for the OH/Executors!

Smuj's Last activity on this site was 15th Nov 2019. I fear the worst.

He was certainly called Roy.

The only Roy I could find in the rough timeframe is

Is the surname correct?

That is not him Nutty. As he hopefully is still with us I cannot confirm his surname.

201 it was

I have found out that PN was fine and in good spirits at the end of last year. It seems my concerns were unfounded.

Roy was alive and well on 7 Mar 24 when he gave a presentation at King’s College London (along with Robbie Woolven)

Good to know Rubic. I also flew with Robbie on 201 Sqn. Sent you a PM.

Good to hear, so the classic case of another Navigator who simply appears to have got lost…
