Merry Christmas! I must have been good this year cos Santa brought me a Mars rover!. Hope I can build it before the Mysterons blow it up!
I love that rover design. Hard to imagine there's two up on Mars already by my count Will. When are you sending yours up - with No.7 rocket fuel! ha ha. I recognise the petrol coin set! Had that very one when I was a kid, the History of Flight! I can almost feel the coins in my fingers, slotting them into the holes in the card and being so chuffed when the collection was complete courtesy of my Dad's motoring! Happy days! All the best Will.
ReplyDeleteI spotted that coin set as well. If that was under the tree then you're blessed with the Xmas elves around you. :)
ReplyDeleteI had a similar set when young in Holland, and I picked up a French set later in life (reported here: https://projectswordtoys.blogspot.com/2014/10/dutch-and-french-shell-petrol-space.html )
Best wishes -- Paul
I remember that post Paul, Shell. If course! There were some other petrol coin sets as well, just can't think what. Apollo?
ReplyDeleteThere was a football set at least
