    Hi All,
    JBoyle,
    Well they will be good hand me downs if you have the boxes especially, which BP truck did you have the Superfast or the earlier 60’s type ? It depends on the condition on the toy and the box. My brother in-law collects them and he said it’s like any collection condition is everything but just like coins the Matchbox/Corgi/Hot Wheels etc.etc. all have varying levels of condition along with that comes varying values 😮

    Tony,
    You and me both matey….:p

    Hi All,
    What makes me laugh with some of these so called scientific experts and their claims using whatever data as evidence along with their associated accurate models 😀 is that they claim this that and the other going back however many years and use this as evidence we are the ones 8uggering up this green and blue dot in the cosmos. Yes we haven’t helped with all our pollution but there are plenty of natural pollutants released into the air over the
    same time period we have been taking records all we have done is added to the natural problem nothing more nothing less.

    Well all I can say is how the hell can they claim to be 100% accurate when they can in all honestly go back to when we as humans first started taking notes ? I mean the planet is millions of years old and has evolved and is evolving so unless they have managed to time travel to the creation of the planet and watched as the earth cooled down and evolved over these millions of years their data is 100% incorrect, because they can only compare the present to Human recent history and not before taking no more than an educated guess at what the actual climate was whenever based on their ever evolving testing methods….:eek:

    Mods – Any idea why (BU GG ERING) would be classed as an offensive word being replaced with * instead please ?

    Hi All,
    I had these toys from a very young childhood from the mid 60’s to the Superfast cars in the 70’s, when at junior school me and my friend who sat next to me used to create garages in our school desks….:D Always remember my Nan telling me they had to usher me past a local shop hat I would pester for a toy car, so much so that even placed on the outside of my Mother or Nan trying to shield me from the shop, I would just yank my hand down and run into the shop to look at all the toy cars….:D I like so many others had loads of the matchbox and oh! how I wish I kept them…:stupid: Here below are a few that stick in my mind…

    Hi All,
    Ken,
    Have donated in a small way to your Black Magic cause a while back now and have the small book that you offer for sale also :eagerness: Very interesting that some on here cannot view the Facebook pages ? I find if you type directly into Google (When it works these days) what you want to visit then just add facebook page it usually does the trick, having said this if you try copying the address that is provided by Ken direct into Google you are given a whole load of pages to view.

    The only thing is you cannot comment on the Facebook or come to think of it twitter pages you have to be a member to do so but usually most can be viewed with no problem I have found…..:eagerness:

    Hi All,
    Many thanks to all who replied :eagerness: I was aware that the fantasist Concorde project would need mega millions, I also assumed incorrectly that it would be the same company’s who supported the Vulcan would be needed to support Concorde. One more question then I can lower my head below the sand bags again..:D

    I thought BAE absorbed BAC and not Airbus absorbing both Aérospatiale and BAC ? or was it a bit of both cherry picking what they needed at the time and sharing the civil supersonic technology ?
