Will's Triang Minic RAF Presentation Set

Not the usual, it may be of interest to some Moonbase readers. My Father's, this is one of the Triang Minic super sets from the mid-1960s. The vehicles are plastic with friction motors.

    They certainly are of interest. That is a wonderful set. Hours of fun for anyone lucky enough to have it.

  3. A fabulous set - something ive never seen in the flesh, only in my dads old catalogues. Theres every kind of service vehicle in there, all youd need would be your own hangar and runway! Brilliant - I wonder if they did a space set with a rocket and transporter? Bill

    1. Hi Bill. They did an Interplanetary set, which was similar but with missiles with launchers and assorted other vehicles. Will O

  5. Triang toys have such a fond place in my childhood! These puppies are a little before my time, but I love the 50's style graphics on the package. A few years on from this and a young me was gazing in awe at some Triang Toys in Woolworths, labelled SpaceX!
