You are doing well "over here"! I never visited Wavre yet, but seems I should.

It`s worth the visit. Not a lot of ordnance in the .50+ range but like most Fairs what is available on the day varies.
I will be going to the one in august as I return in mid July (finish next week here).

I bought my first shell at the Tongeren antique market not far from there when I was 15 years old...I REALLY need to take a visit back to Belgium...
