    Saw this in a Facebook Group this morning. Yikes, is this marketing fair? Wonder how old this is?

    David Bellamy (no, not the hairy one from Durham) wrote the song in the late seventies and she has that sort of look.

    You think that's cheesy, try this more recent ad for the Walther LGV (YouTube).

    In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

    That's not cheesy, it's exactly like an afternoon at the boinger bash.

    The 1981 first edition of John Walter's Airgun Book had some ads in it, at the end, including that one.

    C.1978 ad. Milbro produced a poster with their range of airguns on one side and the young lady on the other. She was also used to advertise the Cougar air pistol. The really keen airgunners pinned the poster up with the airguns on show!

    Well at least it is vintage. Going to a Airgun show next month, doubt I will see anyone like that, only old men: all my Hobbys attract men, well not true, guitar got me a wife!
