    It's a pity it isn't more central as it's a fair way from North Shropshire.

    Good work as always John

    I was busy so once again didn’t see half the stuff there.

    In the present economic climate I did ok and it’s worth the effort to see airgun mates

    I did see more youngsters ( ie under 70 )buying which is good

    Quite a few kids with Mums and Dads too

    Many thanks to Pete and Liz and team

    Runs like clockwork even when we all turn up at once!

    I'm pleased you sold the take down rifle as I was tempted. Had it been loose with no 'suitcase', I may have succumbed!

    Nice Makarov

    I miss seeing you there Mick. Might be worth considering booking in somewhere overnight to make a weekend out of it?

    Kind regards,

    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Could be the Bellows airgun we've mentioned?

    If so, there are some markings on top if the airgun, which I photographed but I'm not quite sure what they say.

    I'm guessing it fires darts rather than pellets though as the latter were not around when the airgun was made during the late 1700s.

    Thanks Mike.

    That was outside. An airsoft and replica trader but that's all I can remember - sorry.

    Kind regards,
