    It seems he felt ill and ended up in hospital and suddenly had a heart attack from which they could not save him.

    My thoughts are with his wife Barbara and his 2 daughters.

    Unhappy No Theoben without Dave Theobald

    With all the growing interest in Theoben rapids at the moment i thought it would be a good time to bring this post back to the light and remember Dave. The post was originally started by Ben Taylor after the sad loss of his business partner David Theobold . Gone but not forgotten.

    May have been over 10 years ago now but Dave will never be forgotten and is still dearly missed by all of his family and friends. The Theoben owners and even people in the trade from all walks of life far and wide.
    Ben. Also a genius is thankfully still with us and such a great mind of useful information that his recollection of things down to the smallest detail still leaves me speechless.
    I would also like to say a big Thank you to Dave and Ben for putting some wonderful creations for us air gunners into productivity over the years,
    My rifles are still going strong and its been an absolute pleasure owning and using them. Col
