Today Junior set up my vintage toy called Space Helicopter Rescue by Congost of Spain.
We got it down from the attic.
He explained to me what to write here and chose the title himself*
Junior worked out how to use the old controls, which were quite difficult to handle at first.
The little pilots are magnetic and can be lifted, in theory, from the capsule and the boat. We had to place the pilot onto the helicopter's fishing rod as it proved way too tricky.
All in all a good interesting old toy Junior said and one his Mum - my daughter - got me Christmas 2023, a nice tradition she has established over the last few years where she gets Santa to bring me a vintage space toy for Dad Woodsy (this year was a box of Micronauts). I like this tradition!
Ha ha, Junior's title is click-bait!
ReplyDeleteHe hee!
DeleteA great looking toy, and well done to Moonbase Junior. Old toys are so much fun, as he has discovered.
ReplyDeleteYes, an excellent tradition that your daughter has established. Long may it continue.
Thanks Paul. It is a tradition I like.
DeleteI wouldn't hold out much hope for the poor astronaut waiting to be rescued! That copter is super fast!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I think the speed control is kaput!
