Nuclear Ferry Blues and the Dyna-Soar by Darth

Darth got in touch:

Well Paul I cried myself to sleep. I got knocked out of the Nuclear Ferry thing
in the last thirty seconds. I sure hope that at the very least it went to one of
the people who frequent your site and not just some dealer somewhere. If I had
won it I was going to send it to Bob McCall and have him sign it. Anyway,
attached are some pics for you. This is a Dyna-Soar model cast at the Boeing
machine shop in Seattle from the original final design from 1963. As you can see
it has been rather nicely stuck on an oak stand that looks exactly like the
stand used when they rolled out the real full size prototype in Las Vegas back
in the early 60s. It's also signed by a Dyna Soar test pilot.

I cried too Darth! Love the Dyna Soar model. A similar one, unsigned, ended on Ebay US recently.
