You’re correct, but we’d like to know because we are concerned. He was on here for several years. Besides, what if they don’t know?

That’s the point, to make family aware that he had friends who are concerned for his well being.

If TF sees the latest UK news and his old friend Boris trying for a comeback he might suddenly appear.

The reason I'm posting this particular post it gives a little insight into John Edwards and little bit of history of family, ham radio, and
the man in general. John mentions Rolls-Royce, I've been an aerospace engineer for many years, and I did work for Rolls-Royce in Darby England, as well as the one in the United States. In 1976, Rolls-Royce stopped making cars and went to hundred percent aircraft military and commercial. And those are the things that I did not work on (automobiles). The number 73, is ham talk: for see you later have a good day.

Hiya Prof thanks for the reply
Interesting to see you have connections with Rolls Royce in my home town..My father worked for them from 1932 until 1967, when he retired..He was in the Number 6 tool room on Nightingale Road where he produced the tools for many aircraft engines including the famed Merlin engine..Not many people knew during World War 2 that Ford produced about 80% of all the Merlin engines under license, and not Rolls Royce Derby!
This was kept top secret during the war and not even the Germans were aware of this, and if you recall the twin radio beams the Germans were using to guide their bombers to the targets during the early part of the war, and that Coventry was "sacrificed" for Derby by our own radio jamming systems that literally "bent" the radio beams over to Coventry which was about 40 miles from Derby!!
Anyway back to the present day and amateur radio..I had an Icom E90 for a while, but gave it to a family in Derby that were attempting to become radio hams themselves..Icom produce great products but at the moment i have found favour with the latest production of Chinese hand helds which are superb value for the money..Take a look on Ebay about them, they come under the name of Baofeng/Pofung...I do hope that you can come onto "Echolink" which is a great way of communicating over the internet or through our usual radio rigs and maybe you could look up in the European listing on echolink for GB3DC which is my local repeater station, and perhaps have a rag chew on there...Dont worry about anyone else trying to log into it, its only for us fully licensed Radio Hams..which you already know..
Thanks again for the reply and take good care of yourself
Kind Regards 73s

Maybe im getting confused here in the message received from
‘South Normanton and Alfreton District ARC’ the club which he mentioned having some involvement.
M31CX is not a callsign format
Was something mixed up in the reply?
