Well i enjoyed the show albeit a wee bit stressed keeping tabs on a certain round we had for sale on the stall as i deffo didnt want that one going M.I.A!!!!
Great to meet some of you lads both old pals and new members ive not met before.
Line up including my old muckers Quatermass and Bazooka Chris(nipper and wife in tow too!),Munitionskiste,Falcon,SG500(and his 'mini-me' too!),FOO31(i hope you managed to get a train home ok pal?),Germanmilitaria and Hangarman.
Sorry if ive missed anyone off the list,but as you know i was stressd out plus not much kip the night before but thats another story! lol
I did have a few good sales thankfully plus i picked up one or two little items for the collection. There was an extremely overpriced 17a fuze up for grabs but i refused to pay the extortionate price the seller wanted however,im currently in negociations with the chap so i may land it shortly(Satan18,PM me or landy call when you can my old friend)
Will take a couple of shots of the new swag in daylight tomorrow.

Did you come and have a gander on my stall buddy?
We were up in Hall 3. Cant have missed us,there was a grey haired geezer and a tall,handsome fella in a german tunic selling ammo....:flute:
I got a clamp for a german ww2 booby trap,a FLaK 37 brass case and some silk charge bags.Not a great deal of pickings but some you win,some you lose.
Whoops!,i had almost forgotten the mock up B1 Incendiary i got that came with original stamped tails.That will teach me to leave the damned thing under my deckchair and wrap it up in the bag! lol

Waff,
If you were the 'tall handsome fella' who never wandered more than 2 metres from the shell in the middle of the table, then yes, I did pop round.
Some nice things, and if you'd had a stripped down German zt/zs30, then I'd have bitten your hands off :smile:
The one that made me laugh the most was one stall that has a replica M24 grenade, but had made it dirty with mud to make it look 'authentic'.
Next time maybe.

so was most other people when they saw me, the pram was certainly bending under the strain :laugh: i was expecting it to give way half way to the car park and spill my stuff all over the floor.
Doesnt bother me about karen as if shes called my wife then that actually saves me getting married so result :biggrin:

It was good to meet Waff, even if i didnt buy anything off him! Picked up a nice mills 36 with base plug and center tube, painted white and strangely also covered in mud! Nice find for 15 though. Bought some "interesting" 7.92 BESA drill rounds and a 30mm ADEN case for an AP round. Nothing much else that excited me, apart from the deact Welrod.
Looking forward to the next one though...
Hangarman
