MEREHALL'S AMPHIBIOUS MISSILE CARRIER





Hi Paul,

Attached is an odd one which you may wish to show on your blog. It's the Merehall Missile Carrier, rather like a cross between racing car and polaris submarine! I think Merehall was just the UK distributor rather than manufacturer.

Best,

Sean
Nice one Sean. It is a strange one. Anyone got any idea where the design came from?

Was the amphibious misssile carrier a project sword toy as i have one with the badge, hoping someone can give me a little more info on this toy

this was never a part of the Sword range, just another toy in the list of 'space age' bandwagon products that appeared in the anderson heyday. I had a metallic blue version with red missiles myself and it never came with any badge or recognisable connection to Sword. Perhaps the badge was from a similar toy ? Send us a photo if you can, would love to see it!
