Ian Warren 63 ...RIP

Postby Splitpin » Wed Jan 15, 2025 6:06 pm

I'm not sure how along ago Ian completed his last flight plan, but I do remember him filing it.

Turned up at one of his brothers places north of CHC.....at his(Ian's) request from the night before.
You have heard this before , but for me it was a special moment...there he was, on a hospital bed they sent him home on, because he refused the Hospice.
In and out of Consciousness due to the medication... but "in" enough to know I was there ...and those , for me famous last words "turn the lights on , and give him a beer"

We shared the beer, I went back to work..and he passed away later that day.

Ta for the reminder, Marty...
I well remember our dear rascal... Ian!.... :lol: ...!
An amazing character!
I spent a lot of time with him on the Forum, with all my youngster Simviation and NZFF Flight Sim Chums!
He always made the Forum interesting!

It was a happy time, long ago, full of activity!.... :D ...!

Very quiet, nowadays!... :( ...!

Paul, from England!...Winter...dull land wet, occasional Showers!.... :UK: ...!

Nice memory Marty, thanks for sharing. Sounds par for the course :cheers:

I had many MP sessions and group chat sessions w the Wing Commander, but sadly we never met face to face. That's one lovely aspect of forum communities like NZFF you get to know peeps as friends often without putting a face to the name.
