Just a short note to thank the Organizer's of this morning Fayre. Great morning, well attended, well run and some great things to purchase. Myself and my mate's wallets are a little bit lighter, this afternoon. Thanks once again.

A great morning out at Melbourne Air gun collectors fair this morning. There was good attendance and lots of great pistols to buy. I found two pistols to buy and am now shooting them in my back garden. Happy days.

Another good show….totally missed the room at the far back till the girlie pointed it out. Missed out on some bargain buys, just when you think you’ve seen most stuff in the airgun world there’s always a good variety here with some interesting items…did a dash to Birds to get a lamb n mint bake which Alfie had to share with me lol.

The proper collective noun that should used is, a Wealth of Wobblies! "Loads," just doesn't sound reverent enoughI too enjoyed Melbourne loads of guns for sale bought a springer pistol, loads of Wobblies for those so inclined Yuk

Stephen, I was wearing my Melbourne special that I always wear for this event , so that my regular customers can find my table, which has the best bargains of the whole fair..... Fact.
The same hat as in my avatar.

Didn't realise that one was your Melbourne Special Pete. Good idea to have a signature hat!
BTW...... the colour of our new (albeit used!) car is actually called Melbourne Red!

I had a good time, but spoiled by a humongous migraine, just starting to ease off after ten hours in a darkened room. 
Not even had a chance to look at the Crosman 357 I bought. 
Here are the pictures I took of the event.

Cracking photos Mark. Some great airguns and ephemera there, something for everyone. But some shady looking characters too !

Some great photos there Mark and a great choice of vintage and modern airguns.
Congratulations to the organisers for what looks like a first class event.
Sorry you had a migraine. I suffer from them too and know how debilitating they can be.

Excellent photos. (once again!) Mark! Thanks for persevering through that migraine. I get them occasionally, but if I manage to 'catch them' at the onset of the zig-zag lines in the periphery of my vision, a couple of paracetamol and a sit down with my eyes closed for 10 minutes, is usually the limit of my discomfort. However, I know many people's symptoms are far more severe and uncomfortable than mine....
Well, I'd have been tempted by quite a few items....
That superb condition Webley Service Rifle cased set and at the other extreme, the boxed Brothers-in-Arms M16! On the pistol front, that table with the Wealth of Wobblies would have caused some consternation as to choice and probably some serious damage to the wallet. In particular the two plated ones.......but what a selection in just the one place.......Wobbley heaven!

Lovely little thing that Harper micro tac is - not sure how legal they are to sell these days however...

The most dodgy looking geezers were the gruesome-twosome from Ilkeston with the gangster baseball caps.
