Dropping in on Woodsys Sea King thread, here is the very capsule from the Dinky playset. I had the German Navy version in red and grey and was absolutely gutted when I realised it didnt come with a capsule! The one pictured was a gift from Spacex maestro Paul V some while back. Also pictured are various capsules fitted with the Moonbase Auxillary Drogue chutes from the Blogiversary special a couple of years back, and the Lone Star Mercury Capsule that ejects the luckless astronaut on impact! Ouch!
Nice capsules and copters, especially the Lone Star Mercury version :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous collection that Bill. Its odd how Dinky viewed the Coast Guard Vehicle as a general marine craft. Then again the Investigator wasn't on the telly so kids wouldn't have know about the Gerry Anderson link would they?
ReplyDeleteYou may need a red cheque parachute for your new capsule maybe?
ReplyDeleteI think i may have need of a new chute Woodsy.. watch this space!
