Sincere condolences to Ian's family and friends. Shocked and dismayed at this. Had the usual banter with him at Melbourne two weeks ago and word at Adlington was he was on the mend.
He and side kick Phil always ready to mentor the likes of me regarding sensible prices, bargains etc

[Garvin]

So sad to hear this. We are all poorer for his passing. He must have been the wittiest person I've ever encountered and could always be relied on to raise a smile in any post he made.

Not forgetting his immense airgun knowledge or love for airguns, which he put into practical effect with his beloved Rivington Rifleman. My condolences to Bob, Dave (DM80), Phil and his other friends and family.

RIP Ian.

but in fond memory of Ian,

Very sad news. I met Ian at Rivington years ago when I had chance to visit club and was given a very warm welcome. Many small deals on here, and IJ’s humour on here has really cheered me on many occasions -
ATB to you Ian

Very sad news. Rip

I am so very sorry to hear this terrible news.

Ian had a great sense of humour, especially when it came to winding up Webley air pistol collectors. Who can forget the image of Ian stirring his tea with a Webley pistol barrel?

Ian was also incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. He lent me a couple of special Webley rifles to test a few years ago and there was never any rush for their return.

Ian will be greatly missed.
