ferretfixer Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 Returned down this morning to W&P venue to deploy my 9x9. Weather: overcast a bit, cloudy but DRY! The ground is still Firm & Hard, No probs getting about whatsoever!. Had a Cuppa with Rick W & had a chinwag. (He's Opposite me) Met up with Lee again for a Chat for 30 Mins then returned to Ashford. Called in at our Local TA & managed to Obtain a Thomas bin for all my SA & MG Spares! Thank you guys! Here we have had the smallest amount of rain. Spitting, but so light, it's barely worth (3.pm) mentioning! Dry now & lightly overcast. It's OK! No probs at 'Belters' so far chaps!

ferretfixer Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hello All! Well, after returning on Monday after the show, I hosed down the RL & parked her on the drive. The Display was a HUGE sucess & drew a lot of interest. I had a LOT of repairs, Adjustments, Modifications, & small restoration work that was effected. Snapper was attending but his camera was defective! so we will have to leave that one for next year! Shame, but there it is. I had a smashing time & made a lot of new friends. The support shown after the loss of my tent was overwelming & to me, reinforces my view of the decency of the vast Majority of Mil Veh Owners. Thank you to all the guys who left me Beers Etc, I had an 'Excellent' time disposing of them! :-D I was very interested to discover how many People do NOT know about the technical workings of the Deacts they Possess. This is NOT a critisiem, simply an observation, I laboured the point that I was there to HELP. And this was reinforced by the Service I offered. EVERYONE who came to see me & had a chat, went away happy & pleased with the meetings we had. The work done & advice given when requested seemed to be well recieved & I got the impression that was pleased with what i had done for them. So a BIG Thank You to all who came to see me, i had a great time & thouroughly enjoyed actualy WORKING at W&P! My days were long (7am-9pm) by the time I had squared everything away at the end of each day. But I went home exhausted, but happy! Mike.

For those that may be interested, W&P Show rendered only one replica inert MG to be repaired with a couple of broken bits. One Zinc metal blank firing pistol with a disassembly problem. One DEAC .30" cal MG that had been field stripped & there was a problem with reassembly. Solved! Plenty of enquires about things, but that was all. NO Sec.1 FAC or Sec.5 weapons were presented or worked on whatsoever! I only have Legal Deactivated weapons & hand tools & Guages in my display. I do NOT hold any form of licences any more & have no wish to do so. To that end I only want to hold items that present no legal dificulties! Mike.
