    I've got one in the loft I think... not cheap back in the day. Your two items would have cost £41.50 in 1985, about the same as a Webley Tempest or half an HW80.

    Sadly, I will have to miss this great event because I am at the BASC Gamekeepers Fair at Catton Park that day.

    Good luck to everyone organising and taking part in what has become the Glastonbury of airgun collecting.

    BASC Gamekeepers Fair is at Catton Park, Derbyshire, on Saturday 11th April and Sunday 12th April.

    Keen enthusiasts could easily visit both events.

    Not necessarily, Pete. I knew a lad who was 2 when his dad came out after doing 4 years.

    I've no idea how that happened.






    But I can guess.

    ATVB, Mick

    P.S. Maybe I should have said 'his mother's husband'.
    When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns .

    In Fair news...
    -Following a mention in Airgun Shooter magazine more tables have been booked, we're up to 18 now I believe plus the bring and buy section. So getting quite full up, but room for a few more.
    -Some of those sellers are first timers, so there'll be plenty of previously unseen items.
    -Big Chris is liquidating most of his doer-uppers, somewhere in the region of 50 rifles looking for new homes from him alone.

    5 weeks to go.

    Sorry you can't make it Charlie, I'll pass on your best wishes.

    Catton is just across the fields from me, I usually get a freebie , not much for the airgunner but a good way to spend a few hours...and there's usually some good zider.

    Two-fers seem popular this year (see vdubb below). Melbourne Fair & Springer Bash ~perfect way to split the drive from Lincoln over 2 days.
