RIP Ian Jones

His favourite mod for the Tornado was to saw 6 - 8 inches off the barrel; then it would fit more easily in your dustbin.

He would most definitely approve of that comment Mike. Well said!

I like all on here wish his family our sincere condolences. I am truly shocked at hearing the news and still trying to process the information. Characters like Ian are irreplaceable.

Been out of the country for the last week and only just caught up with this news.

Like many, my only dealings with Ian were virtual through this forum, over the years he has been unfailingly helpful and a true credit to the forum and the shooting world.

My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

I e-mailed Ian as RR secretary 6 years ago.
Ex-forces and would like to get into the sport.
Welcomed from day one and showed with others how to set up, zero and parallax.
In the years since I have cried laughing with that man whether it be at the indoor or the outdoor, shooting polos from 40 odd yards.
I went to the club today and to say subdued is an understatement, as the place will never be the same.
Andy Macs spider is still in the cupboard and I still have that roll of bubble rap you asked me to keep.
Miss you Ian, a true gent and ultimate wind up merchant.
In tears
John

Ive just seen this news, when I got my first rifle I took it to Rivi to set it up . One time when i was there he was struggling to get up from shooting prone.. I asked if he needed a hand up?He so no it's the dredded Arthur, I didn't find out for quite a few years later about his blood problems .
He was always witty , I could never have the last word , as Zooma will testify .
RIP Ian I hope your still collecting your wobbly Webleys up there !

What a battler of a man, strength and courage, also hoot to boot You brought much humour to your existence and ours.
I never knew you personally Ian, only via email and on forum. I would have been proud to have known you and counted as friend, and a wicked piss take.

Travel easy now Ian.

Arohanui to you, your family and friends
