    Sad to hear of this another character gone.

    Condolences to his family.
    People who have been there focus on the fundamentals. People who sit at keyboards all day focus on the trivial and inane.

    I had the privilege of Meeting Baz several times
    at his home in Kent, and buying and selling airguns to him
    once you knew him a great chap with a sense of humour
    as bad as mine, so sorry to hear of his passing away,
    my sincere condolensces to his family,
    RIP Baz, a pleasure to have known you.!!!

    RIP Baz

    He had a lot of health issues last few years but seemed quite chipper over Christmas, big shock to see the news from Karl.

    He was one of the BBS originals and was a privilege to have had him as a mate.

    Rest in peace Baz
    Condolences to the family
    I remember one of the first airgun magazines I bought had an article about him, fascinating bloke.
    Am I correct in thinking he had a landrover with the reg "RAPID 7" or made to look like that?
    Sad loss.

    I’m so sorry to read this. I joined this forum back in 2000 and he helped me immensely with many gun related questions. I still use the lovely Theoben Olympus he sold to my wife for my 50th birthday in 2002. R.I.P. Baz.
    David.

    I'm broken hearted to say he sadly passed away, a few hours ago.
    I have details of his funeral arrangements forthcoming, if any other members want to pay their respects, please drop me a PM for details.

    Baz, rest in peace my friend x
