This image appears in the 1969 AHI Catalogue as featured on the brilliant Alphadrome.
It is the AHI Super Rocket Plane in what appears to be black and white.
A question was raised on Alphadrome [by Joe K] as to whether this was a AHI or a Century 21 version?
I was interested to see if a colour picture of this AHI toy would look the same when rendered black and white too.
Here's a colour shot from the book Future Toys along with the back panel of the window box.
Here's the above colour image turned a dark form of monochrome on my laptop.
and here's the same in a lighter tone.
What do youi think readers? Is the top AHI catalogue photo the same?
I'm not so sure.
For the sake of completeness here is the Century 21 version called the Moonship.
In colour
and black and white
Here's the AHI Catalogue image again
Apart from the Union Jack sticker they look the same to me.
I think Joe K was right. AHI photographed a white Century 21 toy rather than the correct blue AHI version for their 1969 catalogue.
But why?
