Thier Silence speaks volumes!.............

These people with thier disgusting & arrogant attitudes towards Exhibitors. NEED closing down for Good!!! They have MORE than proved how Nasty & unhelpful they are. We REALLY dont need these types involved in the Military Show Circuit! They NEED to be taught a lesson, that you cant go around behaving like this towards People who have paid up front & expect a better. & more professional service!! I think they have now clearly displayed thier Contempt towards Show Exhibitor's. & this needs to be STOPPED!!!! I believe it only costs £50 to lodge a claim in the Small Claims court. Even if you have only paid this amount originally. I would advise doing it anyway! These 'People(?)' NEED teaching a lesson!!! & it would send out a message to any in the Minority. Who think they could behave similarly in the future!! Although once a Brilliant show, after it's Demise there are plenty of other excellent shows to choose from. & they are growing with Popularity. & other shows will emerge also. This is too big a Movement to be allowed to Die! 👍

Some people just dont know when to lie down & die, do they?......God loves a trier I suppose?..........

Yep 105 a necked case, is indeed Centurion. Mine is also stencilled 105mm BLANK. I have just checked my 'Stick Stand' in the hallway. It is a PARALELL sided case of 155mm Diameter! Please accept my Embarrassed Appologies! I had forgotten that I had changed cases! I have a good Excuse: I am Terminally Confused!....😁

I never bothered. The sticks & Umbrellas go in and Stow OK. No need to do anything TBH.

If You polish them, Then clear lacquer them as well. you wont have to Polish them again! 👍

Defo a 'Lubbley, Jubbley' there then Mike! 😄

These are useful in the Hallway, as an Umbrella / Walking Stick / Cane Holder. I have a 120mm Cent Case to provide this facility in my Home. 😁

If you are on thier mailing list. Or have ordered tickets previously. You will receive a notification email that the show was cancelled. A LOT of People will also notice. NO emails have been set out Freely offering a refund, if you have paid. & the show was cancelled!....

yes you MUST let it warm up completely, & then pump to pressurise. You need to aim for a BLUE roaring flame! Not a weak long yellow flame! If you have a jet pricker use it before hand. If not, a SINGLE strand from a steel wire brush will do the same job.

I have used many times in Service myself as an Armourer. & still do sometimes on the Bench. i have never seen that little 'shield' on any issue blowlamps? These lamps are very simple to use. Fill with PARAFIN & unscrew the small valve on the filler cap. Pour METHELATED SPIRITS into the circular 'Dip' on the top of the lamp. Light the meths & wait. You will soon hear it hiss & bubble as the Parafin is drawn up the tube. When this happens after a few seconds of waiting with the hissing Etc. CLOSE the screwed valve. & apply a FEW pumps to the pump handle. You will hear it begin splutter & a blue flame will try to exit the muzzle. Keep it like this for appox 20 seconds & then PUMP AWAY FREELY as you like! The flame will become hotter, louder & roar! You are ready to use it! When finished, unscrew the valve to exhaust the pressure in the tank. let it cool completely. close the valve & stow away safely!

If you KNOW what your doing. Then it is called an Investment!........😁

He is waiting in the wings somewhere!...However, He wont be inviting 'People' in for Free! He WILL, However. Be inviting Exhibitor's & Reenactor's in for Free. For the Show to Succeed!....Otherwise, as Has been recently 'Discovered'...... The show would fail!........NEED NOT GREED!....

I wouldnt be placing any Bet's at Ladbrooks on that one Alec!.....😲

This Show is far too big to let it fade into History & memories! Yes, the present 'Owner' is indeed, a VERY Hard Bussiness man. & that has been His undoing!.... Dont Fret too much good people! Due to the above, There WILL be another Genuine enthusiast who will step up. & start again with an attitude that is similar to. The way this show was run originally!... Yes it WILL be a Money making Process of course. It could not happen otherwise! But, To get it up & running & established with a similar Reputation of Old. Exhibitors & Reenactors will not be charged for entering thier pride & joys to that show! As has been stated previously by Myself. & Others MANY Times. 'Without US, you wouldnt have a Show'!...& THAT will be recognised by the new 'Saviour' who takes up the Baton with a new Attitude towards Establishing The Beltring Expirience. Of those Halcyon Days we all loved & Remember with Fondness!.... ONLY with that 'Formula' with it get People back on side & supporting. What was once a World Wide Attraction to a vast amount of Enthusiasts & the public!....

Yes, ends with the PRESENT 'Owners'. But will be pleased to see it 'revived' by someone else. who actually Understands These shows. & actually LISTENS to exhibitors & Reenactor's!....

It will leave them if they are QUICK. at the small claims court. As the website states no refunds if cancelled I Believe?......

Just reminiscing over the W&P site's of old. I had an idea, if someone on here is actually attending this year. It would be nice to see some drone Footage over the site we all know from past attendances. I for one, Always enjoyed the greenery all over & round the Beltring Land site. I am guessing that this year, there will be a LOT more greenery to see round the show site!....

Do you think 'They' will listen?..... I once expressed concerns from Exhibitors about being charged for the show. & stated quite truthfully, 'Without US, you wouldnt have a show'.... His reply was: 'Without ME, you wouldnt have a show'! I felt the arrogance to be repugnant!.....

Or if pushed. Remove sump pan to gain access to pick up pipe. Remove pipe & the pin hole, or split. Could then be repaired by brazing. Dosent have to be a neat job, as it wont be seen inside the engine!

After WWA have finally ceased trading. It will be a Sad Day for the collecting community. I dont know of any other Company that had the global contacts Les did! To that end, there will be few new interesting Arms imported into GB after they close thier doors! D&B I feel will corner the lions share of Market. & What remains for sale, prices will increase accordingly!.. If there is little competion, there will be little available to collectors. At affordable prices. & the Hobby may well slowly grind to a halt sadly. ☹️

Is that the sound of the death knell I hear in the background?.......

I would try Anchor Supplies. Or GI Joes Army Surplus Store. I have noticed how the price of these has increased dramatically over the last few years though!....

Anyone dipped thier toe in the water yet?.....😁
