    Roy Hutchence

    I have the sad news that Roy passed away a few weeks ago. He should be remembered by many on this forum as the designer of the Stirling HR81, the BSA VS2000, and of course the Park RH 91 and 93. I am sure that many will wish his family well in this difficult time, as he leaves a void in their lives as well in ours the Airgun fraternity.

    Sad news.

    Thanks for posting this. He was a member of this forum, although he only made a couple of posts a few years ago.

    Gosh, have just found this now...I spoke to him once or twice and seemed a very nice chap. I did hear that he had cancer, but it seemed like he would beat it...

    By the way its Hutchison... maybe with a double ss...
