Hi everyone, this is a "shot in the dark" possibly as I'm attempting to find an old friend from many years ago. The late 1960s.

Roger Kimber lived in Trinant at the time and we met at our place of at Ebbw Vale steel works in the Met.Lab.

I recall he eventually left there and went to Johnson&Johnson in Pontllanfraith ?. The Car he drove when we knew each other was  A Black Fiat , think the number plate was "BWO 17" but maybe not as it's been a long time.

Hoping some Folks from Trinant could ask ask around within the communtity to see if there is any news of him ?

Thank You !

Alan T.

Hello, just found this, was looking Roger (Kwango) up on Google. We were doing the same part time college course at Ebbw FE college - I worked in the chem labs at the steelworks. Did you manage to find out where Roger is? I would appreciate it if you could let me know. Remember the car well, he drove it hard . Regards Sam Griffin

Hi Sam, I remember you !. Sadly no, didn't have any success in finding anything on Roger. I remember Dave and the twins(brothers) he had as friends and Dave , who was a little older, drove a Maroon Ford Classic.

Wish I could help. Where are you now Sam ?.

Thanks for the quick reply, such a shame that he could not be found. Just come back from holiday, when I was away (Cyprus) I was talking about about my first holiday abroad (1969) with Kwango and a lad from Blackwood, it was quite traumatic, arrested the lot. So on a whim I thought I’d look him up. For the past 47 years I’ve been living just outside Keighley in West Yorkshire. The last time I saw him was in the Rock pub on the Blackwood road probably early 70’s . Many fond memories of Roger, a live wire and good company. Let me know if you are ever up in this neck of the woods. All the very best. Sam
