I spoke with 'Editor' (ex VD and TRC) because I knew he had helped Julian (Hawker) regarding publishing his books. Ed got back to me today and it's not good news,I'm afraid.
From Julian's wife.
"He has been in hospital since last year. Had a large seizure a week ago and is presently in ICU, Lincoln. He is waking up and I go in daily".
"Post serious head injury/ coma with complications even back then. I dunno-they can do marvellous things but significant parts of neurology/ neurochemistry are not fully understood".

As the thread's been boinged
@Skub Any update?
Editor doesn't have a current update - he's going to PM Hawker's wife.
It's Hawker's birthday today
Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!!
Not much of an update,but Paul (Editor) contacted Annika,Julian's wife and Julian is now out of hospital and is at home 'fairly stable'.
Unfortunately he cannot communicate as he's got a tracheostomy in situ.'
Although it's not great news,I thought some folk would like to know.

I do RB.
I think it's at the stage now where we'll probably know all we are going to know. Paul didn't find more information forthcoming and he felt it was inappropriate to ask further in case it was seen as prying.
