Looking to buy RCIRs

I live in the UK, so sellers in Europe would be appreciated!

Stoneleigh Militaria Fair, 29th Jan.

For the past seven years I've bought French RCIRs there by the shedload.

The best person to buy from, ( if he's there ), is a Flemish seller. From the entrance turn left, turn left again into one of the main halls, as you go through the doorway into the large hall, on your right corner will be an arms dealer with a large stand, at the far right corner of the arms stand will be a small corner stand. The RCIRs cases are underneath his tables with one or two packs on display on his stall. Last year I bought numerous menus including Ostrich!, very pleased with the menus AND the price, GBP£7.00 for one pack and if I remember correctly GBP£18.00 for three.

There has, in the past, been another seller in the other large hall, sadly I cannot remember his location there but his stand could be backing on to a wall. His prices were dearer, possibly GBP£12.00 for one pack and no discount for buying quantities.

I cannot make the journey this year owing to health problems, would have liked to meet up if you were going.

Stoneleigh Militaria Fair is very big, two large halls. Some sellers have "Rat packs" on the floor underneath their tables, so it can take some time to find.
I was told by a friend that someone was selling American rat packs there last year but I didn't see them and I was there for nearly five hours.
Shouldn't be far away from you if you're in the Midlands.
