    Genuinely saddened to read this, Steve rebuilt my 80 Vantage whilst setting up VMach after the sale of Webley and was a pleasure to deal with.

    A true loss to the industry and shooting overall.

    That is sad - I didn't think he was that old! I know he'd been ill a number of times but not that bad😮 End of an era for Venom/V-mach

    Very sad to hear this, Steve helped me out with various projects and always made himself available, usually out of office hours. He will be missed.

    Very sad news. I never met him, only knowing him through news and reports of his craft of which he was clearly a true Master.
    He must surely deserve a place in the AirGunning Hall of Fame.

    Steve Pope

    I heard yesterday that Steve Pope has passed away - he will be missed. In at the start of FT and an enthusiastic competitor back then.
    Condolences to Family and Friends.

    Mark.
