lp astronauts and toy jets

I've just noticed that the above carded Acrobatic Team featured on Hugh's fantabulous Small Scale World website is a variation of my own Dare-devil and Valu-Pak bagged sets.

I got them both together, pictured below and except for the helicopter and the paratrooper its the same stuff just different colours!

Anyone else got any sets like these?

What are the jets?

Here's a 1964 ad.

Back in May I asked if anyone knew the source of the helmeted boy on the box art of this old Thunder Ball toy. Nothing was forthcoming....

OLD STATIONARY QUIZ

For most of my adult life I have pushed pens around in various guises.

Offices have changed but not completely. Some old friends from the dusty stationary drawer still remain.

I've put together a few bits of stationary here.

Can you name them readers?

ONE EACH PLEASE with the number!

where is your collection?

My own collection, an assortment of toys, books and comics, are scattered around my bedroom and the attic. Some stuff is in drawers and some in boxes. 

Well-behaved toys get to stay in the display cabinets!
