• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

It is with a very heavy heart that I have to announce the passing of Ian Warren. Many of you here will remember Ian as a long-time member and poster. We will remember him as a friend, beta tester and a major contributor to us at Aeroplane Heaven for many years. Ian was ex RNZAF, an aviation artist, and as passionate a simmer as you are ever likely to find. Party on mate. :engel016:

What!?? This is very sad news indeed. Probably the most friendly forum user I've ever seen! Very nice guy. Will be missed sorely. God bless Ian.
 
oh no!
:upset:
Rest in peace, may he fly with the other angels and share wonderful stories amongst the clouds
 
Can't say how sorry I am to hear this. One of the best - and nicest, and most forthcoming - members of the community. I truly enjoyed our conversations over the years. What a huge loss. RIP, Ian... and thanks, Baz, for letting us know.
 
We have lost another great one. Sorry to hear the news Baz. My condolences to his family.
 
Very upsetting news. I liked Ian's comments and observations.
He was also very helpful. He will be missed around here for sure.
Regards and Respect to his family and friends. RIP
 
Ian was an alround nice guy and he will be greatly missed. My thoughts and condolences to his family and friends. I've also replied in the Ickie's Newshawks forum thread but for Ian, two threads would never be too many.

Good to see you here Baz, although on a very somber note.
 
Greatly enjoyed Ian's posts. He had a nice turn of phrase, even when he disagreed on a subject. So sad to lose another keen flyer, who shared his passion with all of us. Heart goes out to his family.

Sadly I think many of us here are getting to the stage where we are not long for this earth. The best one can do is enjoy it for as long as you can, and help others - just as Ian did - to enjoy it too.
 
Sad news indeed. I first got to know Ian through the FSAddon beta testing page and the JF beta team. I also greatly enjoyed his contribution to those sites as well as here at SOH.

We also had some friendly Trans Tasman banter especially when the All Blacks and the Black Caps played each other in Rugby or cricket.

Fly free my friend. Blue skies and good tailwinds.
 
This is terrible news. It was just recently that Ian and myself along with others were beta testing together. I am really shocked and saddened to hear this news. My deepest sympathies to all who knew him. He will be missed.
 
A linchpin at NZFF, a fountain of aircraft history and information and an all around good guy - way too soon.
 
Very sad news. Just about all of us regulars here at SOH have exchanged emails or forum comments with Ian at some time or other.
Hand Salute and RIP, sir. :newzealand:
