airportable Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) Just got back from the event, this year a super winters clear day but cold. We arrived so early could not get on to park! First impression was not quite so many stalls, but did find it hard work at times getting round due to a good turn out of folks. Had a super day, few bits for the radio kit and a good bit of kit from a £1 crate including a pair of 68' ptn. DPM trousers, (they do fit Mark with room to spare ) But my hat off to the living history folks/groups who put so much effot in for one day. Not forgetting the stall holders. Good day all round.

Great War truck Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Yes, a very good day. Saw Steve and Chris G. Chris was moving so fast i couldnt catch up with him to say hello. Probably the only time that i have ever seen or in fact will ever see an original working Goliath for sale. A bit pricey though. i am sure someone we know will want it. Didnt buy much. Just a second hand book on war correspondents for just £5 and a WW1 motorcycle postcard. I did see a guy with a box of axes with the handles all stamped up SS and 1941. I wonder how many mugs he has caught out. Nice cross head screw holding the head in place. The screw was not stamped up SS, so it must be fraudulent.

ferrettkitt Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 not impressed to be honest many dealers missing, hardly any vehicle spares last year was a lot better . just my opinion Iain I agree with you its gotten worse its a re-enactors expensive paradise. I bought two Davis pumps a distributor heat shield and two camp beds grand total off £35. I spent more on food from that burger bar by the entrance beep rip off. The only thing that I really wanted was a couple 58 webbing belts I only saw one for £7 and that was ropey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 not impressed to be honest many dealers missing, hardly any vehicle spares last year was a lot better . just my opinion Iain Iain I agree with you some of the big dealers were missing they were advitised that they would be there,Over the years its has change from an indoor beltring to now a reanactors kit stalls, I bought a shovle for £8 had a look at the Goliath he whants £45K for it not bad price for WW11 tracked.

rob8066 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Ian. 58 pattern belts are becoming like WW2 kit. Sought after and a bit rareish due to post war re enactors after them along with serving 16 Air Assault lads and paras because of the ally look.

airportable Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Ian. 58 pattern belts are becoming like WW2 kit. Sought after and a bit rareish due to post war re enactors after them along with serving 16 Air Assault lads and paras because of the ally look. Must admit I have not seen any 58' belts on their own. But complete 58' webbing rig as little as £5 at some events (I allways buy at that price) Sun. plenty for £10 without even haggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T corbin Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Glad i went. Picked up a NOS rear window glass& frame for my DODGE COMMAND CAR (could have sold it for a lot more than i paid when one dealer saw it .) T CORBIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G506 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 A fairly successful day for me too, found stuff for my Chevy and Slat Grill, but it did strike me that there seems to be less vehicle parts dealers, more re-enactors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toner Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 My friend and I came down from sunny Scotland. We enjoyed it but I didn't buy as much as I thought I would. Not many vehicles parts and some of the deacs looked a little, ermm, non standard' I bought a PRC 351 complete kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ford 369 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I went to pick up some bits I had already agreed to buy so had a good excuse to go but to be honest didnt really see anything there that I fancied and was sensibly priced ,some european dealers were still working on the 1 pound equals 1 euro rule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
