A Friday Treat! Norman's Thunderbirds Chocolate Bar Wrappers and More!

Hi Woodsy

You asked if I should dig out the chocolate bar wrappers, could I send you scans? Well the answer is YES!

I remember having lost one collection of TV21 to a Thrift Shop in Valletta, Malta (thanks Mum!), the next set came from a friend at school who didn't want them any more. 

So here I had the opportunity to assemble all my ephemera that no-one would ever care about (!) and create a good old-fashioned scrapbook - lots of cutting out shapes and images and texts from TV21, the TV21 Diary, colouring books, party cracker boxes, nougat bar wrappers, the toy boxes and of course ... those foil chocolate bar wrappers!

I was going to crop the images to just the wrappers but thought you might get a kick from seeing what I did and you might even spot some more rarities.


I have collected 12 of them, but who knows how many more there were. There are as follows:

Thunderbird 1
Thunderbird 2
Thunderbird 3
Thunderbird 4
Thunderbird 5
FAB1
Jeff
Lady P
Parker
Scott
Tin-Tin
Hood


So if I were to guess what others might have been:

Virgil, Alan, Gordon, John, Kyrano

But maybe that's just in a sweet shop in my dreams!

Captain Scarlet and Stingray are tucked away somewhere too!

Best wishes

Norman

and my other interest
