    With a little more free time, should be easier to make it to the Springer Bash
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    My copy has also landed today.

    I haven't read it yet, only had a very quick flick through.

    And I see there's only the one article from Jim. It looks the usual excellent and informative and empirical one we have benefitted from over the years and Jim has done so much for us all - shedding light on so many technical subjects and proving many "knowns" to be bunkum.

    I haven't read Terry's piece on this yet and I sincerely hope that my favourite Airgun writer of all time can keep us enthralled and enlightened for many years to come.

    "Taking things a little bit easier" writes our Terry, and I really hope that this is the case and no more than that. And at least three pages per month and more if Jim feels like it and really has his teeth into something.

    So, hopefully, all good.

    Lovely little write-up too, Mr D and I echo your sentiments entirely. The UK, no, the Worldwide airgunning scene would be a much more bereft place without Jim's and your contributions over the years.

    True legends and icons of our wonderful sport.

    Yep, as a past AGW scribe, and as a past BBS forum moderator myself, I have had the privilege of working in two separate -- yet interconnected -- spheres along side our Jim, and I have to concur with all that has been said, too, for BTDT aka Jim Tyler is the toppest of top chaps. Take it easy James, and see you on a recreational thread sometime soon.
