    Terrible news..

    I met him once as a child at the Midland Game Fair. Very funny, though I couldn't understand his accent.

    RIP

    What a shame. I met him a couple of times at Rough Wedge, he was a good bloke to talk to. One of those rare people that you like straight away when you meet them.

    RIP

    Sad news,Micks engineering was genius and not one for keeping his tips secret, he loved to spread his knowledge and was responsible for getting me into meddling, top bloke and wicked humour. Was nice to see him earlier this season.
    A sad loss & another good guy gone. RIP Mick, thoughts with Pat & Family

    Mick Dawes, one of the cleverest men I have ever met and a true gent, a honour to have known and talked to him.

    I have shot one of Mick's rifles-a special he built for Richard North, back in the day.

    A very sad loss to Airgunning.
    Never go off half cocked....

    Another sad loss to one of the airgun greats he will surely be missed by many both sides of the Atlantic.
    Condolences go out to Pat having known both for over 19 years.

    Such sad news, I was fortunate to spend my early teenage years with Mick & Pat travelling the length and breadth of the country on the FT circuit and have many, many happy memories.

    Mick was a true Gent and one of the kindest and funniest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing, he was as we say in the Black Country

    “a propa bloke”

    A wonderful Man and a wonderful family

    My condolences to Pat, Sharon & Anita

    What a shame, he was a living legend when I started shooting FT many years ago. He certainly had an influence on our sport. RIP

    We've lost one of the very, very best.

    RIP, Mick. I'll never forget the good times, mate.
