Am so gutted to read this.
Many years ago when my marriage was going down the tubes Ian was a big support to me. More than i could reasonably expect him to have been. Such was his selfless and kind character. His words of wisdom and encouragement undoubtedly got me through some hard months.
My sincere condolences to all his family .

RIP Ian,
Just caught up with this. Very sorry to hear this news.
Never met him, but soon realised that he was a very knowledgeable guy with all things airgun, with an inspirational collection.
His comments about "Wobbly Webleys", and "Swamp Donkey" Relum's , never failed to raise a smile.
He clearly did so much for airgunning over the years
Condolences to family and Friends.

Very sad news. One of the truly great characters in the sport.
RIP old pal.

I think Ian had a secret love for the Tornado - look at how he used to avoid getting fingerprints on the bluing. :-Originally Posted by Lakey

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