    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

    Lovely man. RIP I.J.

    It is a real shame he never got to see the end of the tainted blood saga

    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.

    Very sad news. I only met Ian once ... many years ago at an HFT shoot at Rivington (I think) where he was shooting a Lincoln or BSA. The ground shook with cheers as he toppled a distant target.
    I will miss his wit and posts on the BBS.
    Condolences to all his family.
    Phil

    Oh ! Dont know what to say ? I have known Ian for at least 25 years and always had the craic with him , He loved telling everybody the webley omega story (when he set me up in target sports ) the airgun world is a lesser sadder place without I.J. in it

    gutted to be honest

    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 indeed.
    My condolences to his family.

    He was a real fine gent, and will be sorely missed here by many. I had many a trade with him and a good banter on all things air rifle. He helped me out many a time. Drat, and double drat, not news I ever wanted to hear. I suspect he will be plinking away upstairs with a HW35 or two...

    What a loss. I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. As others have said, Ian was extremely helpful and always jovial and very funny.
    RIP Ian.

    I never met Ian but we exchanged a few posts over the years; a true stalwart of this Airgun BBS, he will be sorely missed.
    RIP Ian.
