Jet Set

 I recently found a jet pack at a boot sale.


Reader Tony K kindly sent in this:

Hiya Woodsy. Please find attached illustrations of the Rocket Belt which may have influenced the Hasbro design.

You can read more about the Palitoy/ Hasbro pack on Action Man HQ's fab site.

    A sweet reminder that you never know when you hit the jackpot scouting car boot sales. Congrats, Woodsy! Thanks also Tony K for your expert knowledge on this rare toy.

    I never figured out how a person could wear one of those without burning off his bum! SFZ

      I don't think the chemical reaction produced heat, or produced enough heat once released through the high pressure nozzles, in the same way you have hot water through a high pressure nozzle it instantly becomes cold
