WA Arms and Armour Society Annual Militaria Fair

Back in June I attended the WAAAS' swap meet at the Cannington Exhibition centre. It was very interesting so I returned for the annual militaria fair and swapmeet. The fair is held over two days with a display of military vehicles, exhibitions of weapons and uniforms. Even eastern states sellers come over for the swapmeet. It was a great display overall. For more information about up coming events, check out the WAAAS website: http://www.waarmsandarmour.com.au/
