Dave,

The militaria fair is the third Sunday of every month normally in the Canada Bar on the Menin Road at the junction to where you would turn down for the Sanctuary Wood museum. it is normally on in the morning. I must say it has been a very long time since I have been. My one overiding memory was not the militaria for sale but the thought of needing to find fresh air as just about everyone, vendors and shoppers were smoking and the room was thick with smoke!

Regards

Iain

Went there in July. It starts early (8am) and finishes by midday so get there sharpish like to avoid missing any? bargains. Slick salesmanship takes place at this fair and not all as it seems so be careful
