    Awww man- such a loss, heck of a nice man. Like everyone has said, Brian was always keen and willing to help anyone and everyone.

    Son of a bitch what a shit thing to happen. I only know Gadget through the "torch period" but he was a helpful and fully decent fella who was interested in helping others.
    Condolences to the family

    Just found out about Brian's passing.
    What a true gent. I recall my Maxtoch failing to work. Mentioned it on here and he instantly volunteered to take a look.
    he picked it up from me and loaned me his own torch until he repaired it.
    I got it back with an upgraded LED driver board and new switch.

    He was a top bloke.

    Gadget and Timerider rocked up to the Toby memorial shoot at the woolshed and Gadget gave Timerider a gift to me.
    Some words were sent but definiately not Brians mouth as he was to courteous.

    Gutted to hear this. Brian was a top man alright.

    Looked after his gear and was always willing to go out of his way to help someone out.

    Rest in peace mate.

    Bloody hell I get a new job and go away for a few weeks and just logged in, i had the absolute pleasure of knowing Brian, helped me make portable solar powered box’s for crazy ideas I had, and then he had the patience to answer all my questions and troubleshoot all the smoking wires I’d create, then there were the torches and the fun with them! Brian you are missed already

    sure had a wit, hadnt seen in him a couple of years but way too young to go to the great hunting ground in the sky.
