Did anyone know Len Morgan?

Probably a pretty closed pilot community in SA so someone might be able to help.
Len retired from the RAF and I flew with him in Saudi Arabia with their military. One day, much later, I was sitting in an airliner as pax, pre-taxi, and a travel movie was on the video. I wasn't taking much notice until I saw the military aircraft -- and then some footage of Len flying a JP on pleasure flights. If you think he is still around please PM me and I will see whether I can get in touch.
Authentication story. Len and I had rooms opposite each other in the unaccompanied pilot accommodation on base. We were going to get the evening meal together. I knock on Len's door and he joins me and closes his room door which action was followed by a loud explosion. Len had been making beer and he had apparently added too much sugar before capping the bottles and they were in a state of incipient detonation - which state was removed by him closing his room door. Since the brewing beer was kept in his clothes closet you can imagine the mess.
