I am extremely saddened to learn of Alan’s death.

Alan was a true gentleman; his integrity, knowledge and kindness are attributes that, when combined, are very rare.

I will miss our chats. :(:(

As echoed by other members , Alan always had time to chat and explain any questions put to him in full , his enthusiasm for the sport was infectious.

Condolences to his family.

Really sad news.

Alan was an absolutely top gent.

[SCW22]

I thinks its already been said above,


Alan posted me a lightstream scope when they first came out to try, didn't really know me from adam.

I had the scope for months and when he rang me i said i would like to keep it.

Dare not tell you how much he charged me but it was very very cheap.

Sad day indeed.

[Punchsteve]

I'd never met the man, but would like to express my condolences to all his family and friends.

[The Reverend]

I too would like to pass on my condolences to his family and friends.

[Trigger Jockey]

My condolences to Alan's family. Shooting has lost a great man.

[Baldie]

Had only met him once briefly. Knew of him mostly by reputation really.

I now regret I assumed I would have many chances to develop a relationship with someone who knew what they were talking about, and were pleased to share their wisdom. A sad loss to us all, in many many ways.


My condolences to his family, and his friends. Greatly missed I'm sure.
