Was he the last survivor of the original imports of White Rhinos in the UK ?

I do not know for sure. Perhaps, if you do not count the Blackpool rhinos in (but I suspect the old Dublin female is still around too).

My data are some years out of date (on some points). I keep closer tabs on black and Indian/greater one horned rhinos.

he still looked fit and well in September when I photo'd him, though he was very quiet.

He has been rather poorly since mid 2007.

I assume the sight of some young girls may have been his last joy!
