    I hope nobody objects to me moving this sad news to General Airgun, but I feel that Ian was such an big part of the Airgun scene for so many years that this thread sits better on the main forum.

    I only met Ian once at the Boinger Bash and found him to be as amusing and interesting in real life as he was in his many posts on here.

    RIP Ian, and my sincere condolences to all his family and friends.

    Very sad news .
    Ian formed Blackburn Outdoor Airgun Club in the eighties before going on to form Rivington Riflemen .
    Always a character , happy to take the mickey out of anyone including himself .
    A wealth of knowledge .
    R.I.P Ian

    I also met Ian at the bash he attended, and found him to be a lovely chap and very knowledgeable on all airgun’s.
    My condolences to Ian’s family and friends.
