Technofix was an amazing brand of clockwork tinplate toys, and I had several, including the legendary Alpine Express, and one of their roller coasters, but never the Airport. The best Technofix toys were the ones with the wind-up cars running along tin tracks, with that magnificent landscape lithography to gape at while the vehicles ran around. Truly a magical company.

Wow! I've never seen that before. What a wonderful toy, and that great box art with a wide vista from the control tower... Magnificent! It almost inspires me to make a fake tin toy of a Mission control, with tin flight controllers and a rocket on the pad!
