JR21 STINGRAY NUCLEAR AIRCRAFT CARRIER - DOES IT EXIST?

Ten years ago I corresponded with the curator of the online Stingray Memorabilia Museum. He believed that JR21 had produced a Nuclear Aircraft Carrier like the one that appears in the first Stingray Annual. He thought he had a photograph of the toy but couldn't find it.

Can anyone else verify the existence of this toy - JR21 or otherwise or at least email a picture of the said Aircraft Carrier from the Stingray annual?

I am unable to locate the online Stingray Museum these days. Seems to be off-line?

  2. There were two, ©1965, which features two WASP officers watching Stingray, and ©1966, which has a dynamic illustration of Stingray with explosions behind it - both covers, I'm fairly sure, being the work of the late Ron Embleton. I'm fairly sure the one you mean is the second, the Titan strip/history being drawn by Ron Turner.

    Again, if you click on my name, you'll go to an illustrated index of the 1960s Anderso-related anuals for clarification.
