I checked through the private messages that I had from John and found his address. Searched the white pages and found a phone number for that address but, when I rang, no one was home. Will try again later.
Have tried John's number a number of times but it always goes to message bank. Have left messages but no one gets back. I wonder if they've gone on an extended holiday.
On another note there used to be a chap on the LAF a few years ago who was into 166 Sqdn ... but I can not remember his name and so going to find it difficult to track him down lol
