    Ed Wotton

    It is with great sadness that I have to report that EdW has passed away

    He died on December 1st from a heart attack

    Ed was one of the absolute top blokes on here, I met him many times as he liked to swap his guns about quite regularly

    A great bloke to do any deal with and a pleasure to know

    RIP Ed

    Unhappy

    I had a very successful deal with Ed involving much trust both ways. The man was a total gentleman and will be greatly missed. RIP Ed. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

    Sad news indeed as I did a good deal with him.
    He also wrote for one of the Shooting Publications I believe some time ago.

    Shocked

    Dear Ed was a top guy. I am really shocked by this news. I dealt with Ed spoke to him and met him many times in the early busy years of the BBS and he was a truely good bloke and an absolute Gent.

    My thoughts are with his family.

    This BBS is now a much poorer place.

    Ed - RIP.

    Although I only knew of Ed by his posts on here I must say he seems to have been a gent, my thoughts are for his friends and family at this difficult time.

    I new Ed Wotton through buying and selling from my old username , I have just come back to Airgunning after a 2 year break due to ill health and I am very shocked at Eds death.

    I had a lot of time for Ed and had many long conversations with Ed on our great sport.

    Very sad indeed.
