SportingShooter 0 Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 (edited) Another of the True Countrymen of the old school gone. I thoroughly enjoyed his articles and was extremely pleased to see he him getting his MBE a few months ago. The man had knowledge which can never be replaced on the arts of ferreting and fishing. He will be missed no doubt. RIP Fred J. Taylor http://www.shootingtimes.co.uk/ Edited May 8, 2008 by sportingshooter06 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mistwalker 0 Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 So sad, another 'great' gone. Like Mr Darcy, I used to love his articles in the Shooting News when I was younger. RIP Fred Quote Link to post Share on other sites
