Titan/Bowkett book View Advert Hi all, John Bowkett and I have written a book. The 150 copies arrived on Thursday morning. Most were spoken for during the pre-sale phase, but a limited number are still available. Each copy is hand-numbered and signed by both John and me. It’s a linen-bound hardback, 216 pages, featuring over 260 photographs - many from John’s personal collection. This book is the result of nearly two years of intensive work from both of us. The price is £110 plus postage from Amsterdam (£127 total for UK buyers).

John Darling book project
louisvanhovell replied to louisvanhovell's topic in General Airgun Discussion
Thank you mackem! I have tried to contact Mr Morris in a number of ways (via YouTube, Facebook, Linkedin, and ATEO, an organization that he seems to be involved with), but no reply so far. Fingers crossed that I will succeed, as Mr Morris probably has lots of stories to tell. Cheers, Louis -
Hi, I've started to write a book about the late, great John Darling of Seaford, East Sussex. John was well known for his (airgun) hunting, fishing and writing skills. He died in 2004 due to brain cancer. If you would like to share information or memories with me, then please send me an email: johndarlingbook@gmail.com Thank you and kind regards, Louis

John Bowkett and I have recently completed a book documenting Titan airguns and several other of his designs. The work is based on approximately 15 years of correspondence and research. It follows two editions of my first book, "Sharp - A study of Japan's most famous airgun brand". Regards, Louis titanairrifles@gmail.com

+1 for John Bowkett. He designed the gun and his work is second to none. On top of that, he is very very nice to deal with. Leave him a message on 0121 745 4287 and he will get back to you. He worked his magic on a few of my BSA's including my fac S10. He will not only service it, but also improve it. Cheers, Louis Image courtesy of John Bowkett's official fanpage

View Advert Sharp pellet tub Hi, I'm looking for a Sharp pellet tub. They came with a green, orange or blue lid. Manchester Airguns sold them in the good old eighties together with the Innova's and Ace's. Would be fantastic to find one! I'm prepared to pay a good price as these are rare.
