From old contributor Ferryman's collection, the gorgeous plastic Air Port Crash Tender issued by JR21 in the Sixties
[isn't airport one word and not two?]
I'm pleased to say I have one too in the Moonbase fleet.
There are a number of different brands of similar toy tenders from the Sixties: JR21, Lucky, NFIC, Matchbox and even a large Action Man tender, which I once had the pleasure of selling a boxed example for a friend in the 1990's.
Have you got a tender at all readers?

I've got the matchbox one. That JR21 toy is nice!
ReplyDeleteI think the JR21 is a bigger version of the Matchbox toy Kev. I'm really surprised that JR21/ C21 didn't release one of the tenders from the TV shows like one of the many in Thunderbirds. This one seems so general but yes, it is a lovely toy.
DeleteFunny, on the box they putting out a burning building, not an aeroplane.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, yes, could be an airport building?
DeleteI have just got hold of a NFIC version ,180 mm long so must be 1/35-1/32 scale ,,??
ReplyDeleteNot sure. There's a nice article about plastic fire tenders in an old mag. I will try to dig it out.
