A 'where are they now?' article in H&E itself would be an absolutely superb article that might also reflect on their changing views on naturism in the years since.

Hard to say. Many of the models were just that, and it's unknown if they were actual naturists either before or after they appeared in the magazine. If you've ever seen any of Charlie Simonds' films, it can be quite fun to play "spot the pornstar" as many of them straddled (no pun intended) the divide between glamour and HC work. Off the top of my head, I can recall Vida Garman, Jilly Sampson, Rose Wood, Katarina Nikita, KazB, Maria Sherriff, Louise Hodges and Lorraine Ward all appearing at one time or another. Wendy Cooper was a model/actress who appeared in a couple of obscure "straight" roles alongside her more widely known glamour work. She even appeared in an early Ben Dover video. Heck, even Alison Brown performed in a hard-ish core sex ed video.
As for the contributors, it's a bit fuzzy. Ol' Charlie still does a little photography, though he does seem to have retired from making his films. Teresa O'Shea still contributes articles. Former editor Murray Wren died a couple of years ago in his 90s leaving behind thousands of naturist photographs. Mark Storey was a visible figure for much of his time as a writer for H&E both before and after he was editor. Much like Kate Sturdy and Helen Ludbrook, he seems to have moved on to pastures unknown, though who knows if they are still involved in naturism.
