Melbourne Airgun Collector's Fair

[18 Wheeler]

Looks like a trip up from the Boinger Bash then.

Absolutely Gordon.
Journey time from Quigley Hollow > Melbourne is only 29 mins, so it's an easy trip out for the hardcore who are doing Mick's Springer Bash (highly recommended ) and will offer an opportunity to reprovision for Saturday evening, there's a Sainsbury's next to the Legion.

For those who a Fair regulars why not double up and do the Bash too? Great set up with numerous targets from close to far, covered firing position... follow the link above.

...I am a bit puzzled though by the 'Airgunners Friend' advert in Airgunner 1990 uploaded on Jan 25, 2013 (Page 3)
'The Patented Diagnostic Tester' I will try Googling it...

My attempts to discover where this wunder-tool went met with abject failure.
A definite oddity John, I suspect it might more accurately be described as the "Airgunner's Fiend", another "great idea" that didn't live up to the hype? There's also a muzzle attachment which claimed to "tune" any airgun, circa 1998 (?), but looked like a cross between an old coke bottle and a spring balance. I'll see if I can find and scan it.

Picked one of these up at the weekend along with a copy of GCs from Trigger to Muzzle, pictures courtesy of Planet Airgun......http://planetairgun.com/index.php?PH...37204#msg37204 Not had chance to compare it with an F1 Chrony.

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.

P.S. Maybe I should have said 'his mother's husband'.

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.

It will be a first for me...

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