Over this year I've at last added to my collection of plastic Space Gliders.
In particular I've furthered my 2001 Space Glider fleet with the help of friend Paul Vreede, who secured an elusive yellow variant for me being sold in Germany. As the UK is no longer in the EU, buying old toys like this from the EU has become much more difficult, so I was very grateful to Paul for sorting it [thanks Paul].
So without further ado here's my Space Glider fleet kindly photographed as a group and individually by Wotan [thanks Bill]. Hope you like them.
