Hi.
Just had the very sad news that forum member 'Whitebeard' has passed away.

I first met Ian at Bisley during the Pistol 86 event. He was with a bunch from the Midlands in the next accommodation hut.

Despite his long term illness he always tried to get out on the Vermin control whenever he could.

An extremely skilled Engineer, he would often be found tinkering on his Lathe and Bridgeport in his garage.

I will miss him terribly.
 
Sad news! I appreciated corresponding with him about machining and gunsmithing. RIP Ian
 
Very sad news ! Only spoke to him before Xmas about some gun smith work . Real nice guy and helped myself and mates out when he could . Met him through the directory turned out he was local . A great loss to the sd and his family rip mate
 
I never met him but he obviously evoked love and true friendship in those he met - I am extremely sorrowful for his family and friends left behind.
I don't know how ill he was but at least he now has peace.
In another place we will all meet up again and be as we were - my fervent hope for Whitebeard.
