Well readers, its nearly the big day. I'm away from Moonbase on shoreleave in Europe but thinking of my Moonbase friends at Christmas.
It might be Christmas Eve but there's still time to get a last minute prezzy for someone especially of you have a time machine! Why not nip back to Oxford Street, London, Christmas 1964, where you'll find a SWORD Apollo Saturn in a shop. This version of the Rocket was either the Japanese Tomy version or the American Sears version and was apparently sold in the UK. It appears unboxed at 1.02 minutes for a few seconds along with a working Dux Astroman robot!
This clip pushes back the date for the earliest known sighting of an Apollo Saturn Rocket by a good six months from June 1965 [reader Jim's TV21 ad] to December 1964. Source: British Pathe.
