Hi Woodsy,
Mickey’s Toy Room is a fairly new You Tube channel, covering toys and memorabilia. In this episode he looks at various tie-ins to the film Battle of Britain (1969).
I had no idea most of these items even existed. The main focus is on a series of 66 Bubblegum cards by A&BC Chewing Gum Limited, in England, using photographs from the film, or its production.
The same set was also sold in Australia by Scanlen’s Goblin Sweets Pty. Ltd. This is well worth a look.

The actual Battle of Britain ended 86 years ago on 3Oth October, 1940.
Ooh! In the midst of my BoB frenzy, a full set of Gum Cards sounds tempting. Unfortunately examples on eBay seem a bit pricey.
