Malvern
My first visit to Malvern and I was impressed with the scale of the event(although at least half of the stalls were for vehicle parts). Five hours to get there including 3 hours on a cold, slow train from London Paddington; and another 4.5 hours to get back. (Public transport doesn't work well on Sundays!) Good to meet BOCN members and I bought a nice ElAZ 9 from Waff's stall. And many thanks, Waff, for the lift to the station - much appreciated. Also a bought few small items, including a rusty grosse Gewehrpanzergranate 40 for 15 from a German chap selling relic material. An enjoyable day out. Pudsey on 6th Dec but I won't get there before about 12:30.

I had bloody awfully good one chaps at Malvern! Found a really nice US 30mmx165 Honeywell Experimental Dummy (US Philco-Ford circa 1972 competitor to the GAU8-A Avenger and did not get past the experimental stage, a 30x173 GAU 8-A Dummy in its white plastic loading case, 35mmx228 Oerlikon fired case bit battered condition but nice all same, Russian P-TAB Cluster Bomblet and a .50 calibre round for my son Dan! So i was well chuffed with my lot. Best of all was on the sat 20th when Waffy (the tall handsome chap lol!!) and Mick delivered the big 8-inch shell for me-that item is just awesome and i love it. I said to Sarah the wife maybe i should have another so i can have one either side of the fireplace lol! Waffy and Mick hope youre reading this keep your eyes open lol! Regards, Tim.
