UP AND AWAY INTO 2021

Hi,

Recently picked up this Marx helicopter. Think I had one as a kid (I recall all my sf stuff well, but not so much with the rest). Love the look of it and it still works!

Must fly .... into 2021!

Flying Helicopter Toy from the 50's

Hi Woodsy

Just found this clip on You Tube, a remote control helicopter toy from the 1950s. It flies on the end of a pole and can pick up various small items that were included in the box. 

It bears a very slight resemblance to the American Sikorsky S-51 helicopter, or the British Westland-Sikorsky Dragonfly version. Looks like a fun toy.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A PILOT

 

In the distance was Mos Eisley Spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Thats No Moon

 The xmas sweet selection brought some interesting packaging this year, as shown by a giant plastic Ferrero Roche ball and a clear plastic cone to hold the sweets. The ball will make a handy background prop for a space photo!

THIS POST NEEDS A FUNNY TITLE CAPTION! ANYONE?

 The Christmas Fairy needed a bit of extra help this iffy year so Superman stepped in.

We made sure that no Kryptonite was hanging on the tree

So Supe could do his thing and make sure the baubles don't fall.

He'll be on tree duty until the 6th January.

Superman will be available for world-saving duties after that.

THUNDERBUCKETS

 

Remember this from the early 1990's? A Thunderbirds Butterkist bucket. I found it in our loft!

It was part of the early 90's Gerry Anderson revival on the telly. Did you get involved?

THE BURAGO UFO INTERCEPTOR

Keeping to Scoop's UFO theme I was amused by this imposter into the genre I saw online, the Burago UFO Interceptor.

Its a van!

It has a radar.

Some nice graphics on the back.

The body has some futuristic styling and a laser.

Not sure of the date.

What do you think of this model readers?
