Hoover's Spaceships: Swallows and Rockets

Hoover released two Swallows.

Recently I saw this one on auction. It's Hoover's militarized F-111 version of the pair.

Five guns, red colouring and a tailfin were added for combat readiness.

This is its civilian counterpart in pearl white. I prefer this one as it's spacier.

The same box was used for both.

Similar to the Swallow, some time ago I got hold of a Rocket Car by Hoover.

I was looking for toys, which may have cast some light on Hoover's Project SWORD knockoffs.

Not to be confused with the similarly named HOVER, Hoover toys were marked with a geometric arrow and an Art. No. My rocket car is numbered 302 but is sadly unboxed.

This boxed version of my rocket car appeared later. There was no mention of Hoover in the listing and the box says 'Empire Made'. It could be the original, which Hoover knocked off. Does anyone know?

Hoover also made this Rocket XL9 Spaceship.

Packaged in a red striped box similar to that of the Swallow Rocket. The model number is 304.

This is a stripped-down Probe Force 3 and is also a knockoff.

The source of the toy can be traced accurately to the JR21 original, which has the same name, box and even the same model number, 304!

Anymore HOOVER or HOVER rockets or rocket cars out there readers?
