There is a notice in Sussex Model Centre stating that
purchasers of BBs and airsoft gear have to fill in names
and addresses to comply with Police Authority
requirements following the change in law (1998) !!
Anyone shed any light on this please?

Sounds like some sort of local requirement.

But AFAIK, the police are only permitted to apply the Govt's rules and regs
as far as firearms (and other projectile throwing objects, e.g. airguns) are
concerned, and that if they do such things they are themselves breaking the
law.
[I remember one case that one of the multifarious shooting organisations
jumped on where the police were insisting that there be a national
competition in which the particular firearm had to be used to justify "good
reason" to own it]
If anyone has the facts behind these rumours/semitruths, please enlighten
us..

But airsoft guns are not firearms as they are not "lethal barrelled weapons".
