    Yes indeed, less than half a mile away is both Premier Inn and Travel Lodge, double rooms were booked a week in advance for £35 at the later.

    They did, Baz. I suppose a parallel-sided barrel was cheaper so they settled on that in the end.

    That really looks elegant. I have never seen one at any show, must be rare. Did not buy much at Kempston, but sold all I took there. Just had to have this little Tell to join my others, I have never seen a plated one, not sure if the factory did them. This one had a few faults, would not cock, but repaired it today and fitted PU back seal. Funny, I have had a couple in with the same fault, the back end of piston hits the two locking lugs in barrel cap, had to remove just over a mil. Can't understand how this fault can develop over time. Still not managed to find one that beats one of mine that does 265 fps with Geco pellets.

    Yes, nickel plated Tell 2's were advertised as an option, at a premium of course,and they are very rare (at least in the UK). A great buy!

    Thumbs up

    Thanks for posting the photos John... I really like the book 'case' that's a neat idea and something I'd like to have a go at myself.

    Thanks, thats good news, paid £100 which I was happy with, there were a couple of blued ones there at higher prices. Also bought spare Webley grips, you can never have too many !

    I did Airbnb (£19) Hounslow but the double room Travelodge sounds good! I will try that next time, thanks for heads up
